It is doubtful that anyone on the list who really experienced this
storm is really even in a position to get this
post. There is no power. The upper Texas coast is a mess. Even
though the storm was actually not as bad as Texas officials had
feared, nevertheless it was awful. There is no power for almost 2
MILLION people. When people tell you that everything in Texas is big,
that includes power outages as well. Flooding is widespread and is
being complicated today by additional, non - hurricane related rains
caused by a cool front wringing moisture from the coastal atmosphere.
This means that the hurricane flooding is being hampered in draining.
There haven't been a lot
of deaths reported, but this may be because rescue teams cannot get
into some of the residential areas yet.
In short, it's a wreck.
Here in Austin we did not even get one drop of rain or any high wind.
This was a different scenario than the
one posited at the beginning of last week, when Austin was in the
storm target area.

First off... Hope every one in Texas is doing OK after the big blow...
Secondly, I was offered a trade today for an original release High
Society one sheet. It wasn't folded and had no NSS number. Other
than that all the printing on the bottom was correct for that poster.
It was 27x40 1/2. It was obviously trimmed on the bottom as the trim
was not as sharp as the other three sides. There was nothing
indicating it was a reprint.
I explained to him that I felt it was a reprint but he insisted that
he worked at MGM and has had this poster since the mid-sixties and
that it came from the president's office. He also claimed to have
sold another exactly like it, unfolded. Another red flag I thought.
Following all that the paper didn't feel right either.
Anyone know of early reprints on this title or run across anything
like this on this title before? I'd like to be honest with the guy
and tell him exactly what he has.
I would appreciate any comments.
Many thanks,
Glenn T.
