Obit watch.
Monday, September 13th, 2010Wowzers!
Monday, September 13th, 2010I’d seen the link on Instapundit about Amazon Mom (which, as far as I can tell, is Amazon Prime for parents; moms, dads, and other caregivers, in spite of the name) but not being a mom, it wasn’t relevant to my interests. (I did mean to send out a couple of emails about it, however, but got bogged down in illness.)
I just found out we now have Amazon Student as well. You know, for kids college students. Like me. I wish this had been available a few weeks ago…
Sad news from Las Vegas.
Monday, September 13th, 2010The Liberace Museum is closing.
I’ve actually toured that museum twice, and had a great deal of fun both times. I find it just a bit surprising that they employed 30 people, but with all the clothes, the cars, the musical instruments, and what not, as well as staffing the museum, I guess I shouldn’t be that shocked.
The mention that they also hired a professional curator from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (who lasted a year) is also kind of interesting. I know Mike the Musicologist had some thoughts on curation and the Liberace Museum after our first visit, but I’ll let him post those if he wishes.
(Thanks to Bill Crider for the tip on this.)
Edited to add: Here are links to two stories from the Las Vegas Sun: link 1 and link 2. I do not believe the Sun is associated with the Las Vegas Review-Journal or Righthaven, but if I’m wrong about that, please let me know.
