If itās Olivia...Iām booking my ticket!!!I noticed today someone is attending from Australia. Amazing. I really canāt wait for this event.
Just purchased my airfare to LAX. Have to book the shuttle to Thousand Oaks. Would be cool if someone else was arriving so we could shuttle together. It is getting real!
Iām getting very excited now! Whatās the weather like in Southern California in late April guys? The hotel has a pool and I managed to bag one of the rooms around the pool courtyard
I am starting to get really excited for this! I have only once in my life done a fan meeting and that was at the premiĆØre of CĆ©line Dion's Las Vegas show in 2011. It will be cool to talk to people who know the Carpenters inside-out.
It seems we have an answer on the question I asked about the Henson Studios and Richardās warehouse tour. The 50th Anniversary organisers sent an email to those on the mailing list today, explaining that:
āAt this time, we have been unable to secure permission to visit the interior of the Yesterday Once More Warehouse, but are still hopeful that we will be able to gain access to the Henson Studios lotā.
The alternatives for the day, if needed, will be the Hollywood Bowl and maybe a drive by Joe Osbornās old house where Richard and Karen first recorded.
I just got done reading that email. Disappointing. Who knows what besides cars are in that warehouse. Karen's jelly bean drum set, more gold records, outfits that Karen wore during her concerts and television appearances, photos, press clippings, etc? Perhaps it is a security concern for Richard. He simply does not want 100+ people milling about his priceless merchandise. I still hope he materializes at some point during the event. I have a feeling he will.
Dang, that is really a bummer. The way it is worded is confusing. Does that mean it is a total no? I am assuming it is a no. That sort of takes the wind out of the sails a bit.

Back in the "day," (1987 or '89...can't exactly remember), I got to tour the warehouse when it was located in either La Mirada or Cerritos (can't remember, specifically...30 years ago!) and there was a room filled with some of Karen's personal belongings. I specifically remember some gold records and stuffed animals; but I particularly remember the framed glass panel that outlines the A KIND OF HUSH LP cover (where they K&R are looking through it for the photo). That was almost as cool as all the cars!
