> Dear MOPO members. I want to sincerely thank all of you who contributed to this fund that JR (extra thanks to him!) so kindly started. I cannot tell you how much these things have helped with expected and unexpected expenses incurred due to Katrina. This money will be set aside to help me relocate my possessions from two areas-- my apartment (second floor "uptown" location; I don't think water reached at all-- certainly not my upstairs location-- and the collection should be okay); and a storage unit in Metairie, Jefferson Parish's NOLA side of the Mississippi River. My friend Al was in that area yesterday and reports that the storage unit looks totally intact. I'm talking to those people today to determine the status of the unit. The contents, posters included, should be fine. As soon as I can go in, I plan to do so with a truck and some Ms. volunteers to get everything that's worth getting in one fell swoop!
If you didn't hear through the "grapevine," my cat Sister Mary Agnes was rescued due to the tenacity of Nathalie Yafet, on Tuesday. We will go and get her next week after her check-up stay with the vet. I have to thank Nathalie for all her work in this. Sister Mary Agnes probably wouldn't have been found without her. I'm sorry that some of the "passion" expressed during the search spilled on to MOPO. I am still uncertain as to my plans for the future. I have no intention of living again in New Orleans. I love the place and if I were twenty years younger I'd be jumping right in with Harry Connick Jr. (a true NOLA hero, folks!!) for the rebuild. . But the nerve-wracking suspense show that has become the daily weather-cast and the adventursome nature of New Orleans' future life is something that I now want to avoid. I've been invited to stay with folks from New Jersey to Western Canada and may well venture out. I am performing as Tennessee Williams again in October in Mississippi and will proceed from there after those performances. Thanks again for your generosity, caring and support. I'll be back soon-- to talk about movie posters!!
