Meet me in St. Louis

Louise meet me at the fair.

Back in my youth, I believe I watched every Judy Garland film multiple times. Now that I'm thinking about it, I should be her for Halloween, dressed up like Dorthy and all drunk complaining about the munchkins orgies.

Anyway, I digress. I really don't travel that much, but lately these past two weeks, I'm a traveling fiend. Plus, I'm suffering from an acute case of insomnia. I think my mind won't start working at night. I get in bed but I wake up at 2 am and can't seem to go back to sleep. I'm thankful I'm at a Westin in a heavenly bed.

Tonight it's St. Louis. I don't have much time in town. When I got into the room, I found no room service menu. So, I called downstairs and asked about it. The room service guy said he could send me up one, but I said he could probably walk me through it. I was craving pasta, but not too creamy make your tummy feel bad pasta. I seriously told him that. We settled on lobster ravioli and a nice glass of pinot.

Its lovely. The bed is heavenly. The pasta actually came with lobster chunks. You could actually see the lobster in the ravioli. The pinot was cheap, but it did the trick, and I got a shower.

Delightful.

Please consider joining the Yahoo version of The Judy Garland Experience, the world's most exciting Judy Garland group.

Over there you will be able to listen to and/or download ultra rare and never released audio files of Judy in concert, on television and radio, rehearsing, unnisued or lost studio material, unused soundtrack recordings and more.

If you are not a member of Yahoo, don't worry, it is free, and very easy to sign up for and use.

The members of the group include Garland family members, authors, film makers, historians, other celebrities, and fans from all levels. The only one missing is you!

This week we are featuring unissued session material from The Pirate pre-recordings, a complete unissued night club performance by Judy from the late 60's, Judy's last conversation with her friend Jack Paar, Lorna Luft in concert at Carnegie Hall, a tribute to Lena Horne, and much more!!!

As well as the great files, there are always interesting discussions as well as photo sharing going on.

Please stop by and check things out (you might find that you will never want to leave).

You should relive our 1998 Red Neck Road Trip and stop by the riverboats and the Budweiser brewery.

Enjoy the HBO! ;)
