Forgive any typos in this post. It's thunderstorming in Los Angeles, my power's gone out (as it does at the slightest sign of actual weather in this town) and I'm posting this on an iPad in a dark room with 11% power remaining.
As I've mentioned here, I'm a member of The Academy of Magical Arts, the group that operates the World Famous Magic Castle as its clubhouse and no, I won't (can't, really) give you a pass to go there; not if I don't know you really well. But I can show you this brief tour of the place hosted by the multi-talented Misty Lee.
I'm not sure why they made this. It feels like a recruiting tool but the Castle is now more successful than it's been since I joined 38 (!) years ago. Every night, it's packed to the point where members are complaining they can't get reservations. There's also a waitlist to become a new member. Still, the video will give you a good sense of the place. (Small Quibble: Not every magician performing there produces live doves outta nowhere.)
I love the place even if I do have to put on a tie to go there in the evenings. I'd tell you more but I'm at 8% power. No, make that 7%. See you when my electricity's back on. Given the swiftness of the DWP, we might be looking at Thanksgiving and maybe not the next one. Good night.
