Hi there,
Just thought I would mention to anyone living in the Indianapolis,
Indiana area that four of the nine remaining Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz
will be at the Hollywood Bar & Filmworks theatre from the 18th, 19th, and
20th of February.
The Munchkins will be in the lobby before and after the film is shown,
which is three times a day at noon, 2 & 4 p.m., to sell their pictures and
chat with film fans.
The Munchkin Coroner, Meinhardt Raabe is the eldest--at age ninety and a
half and will also be selling the book he and I wrote called, "Memories of a
Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road"
(www.memoriesofamunckin.com)
As usual, I am stuck doing my Navy duties and will be unable to attend,
but my mom will be there with Mr. Raabe and it will be the first (of many to
come) event he attends this year.
2006 marks the 150th year since both the original book's author, L. Frank
Baum, and illustrator W.W. Denslow were born (both 1856) and helps fuel the
Ozmania along with a Judy Garland stamp that will come out in June (her
birth month.)
Mr. Raabe has a great image from his lobby card that he sells (it was
from the original that he owns and I had it done professionally for him) and
signs for anyone interested.
As a poster fan, I was able to show all of the first release posters from
the film inside the book-even the glass slide, so I think one or two MOPO'rs
might be interested in seeing the book and meeting Mr. Raabe in person.
See the below website for further information:

Take care.
