Yes, what an event that was. AS for the fact that you were not in it, I have nothing to say. But that was a convention of a lifetime. We did our best to make it all that it could be. Not realizing that so many of the events and the people would never been duplicated again. I am still willing to hit you with a pie the next time I see you though.

I’ve been in a couple of pie fights (I staged one myself when I was in fourth grade for a Super 8 movie I was making) and frankly I don’t think you missed anything, except maybe getting seriously injured or trampled upon. They look more fun than they are–after the first pie hits you, you can’t wait to get all that glop out of your eyes and hair. And Anita said that when they made “Battle of the Century,” the pie filling in the hot October sun smelled something awful and attracted every bee in Southern California. I’ve always avoided events like this at the SOD conventions I’ve been to–usually because they’re also scheduled opposite an event that we historically-minded types want to attend. I might well have the Grand Banquet on a cassette tape here–I have hours of Hollywood ‘80 events on tape.
