Just a note to let you all know that The Castro Theatre in San Francisco,
California, will be
running a week long event called "The Joan vs Bette Festival." Each evening will
screen a
double feature, one Joan film, one Bette film. The program starts on September
12th.

Joan's grandson, Casey Lalonde, will be attending the Friday and Saturday
evening
screenings. He'll be a guest speaker and he's most eager to lay to rest the many
myths
surrounding "Mommie Dearest."

There will be two midnight screenings toward the end of the week too. "Whatever
Happened To Baby Jane?" and "Mommie Dearest" should draw an interesting crowd
given
the late night screening times.

The Castro Theatre has its own website and it can be found by typing the name of
the
theatre into your search engine. It's only two months away so plan your vacation
time
around this one. It'll be a lot of fun!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!
