Hello!
We’re gearing up for summer and it’s already getting warm in the City of Angels. You know what that means … beach time, BBQs, picnics … the smell of hot urine wafting up from the sidewalks. Delicious!
Fortunately, here in our humble adobe we have air conditioning and it doesn’t smell so stop by. Alison Martino from Vintage Los Angeles did last week and filmed a segment for Spectrum News 1 SoCal. If you are on Facebook, if you love the 60's and Hollywood - you have to visit Alison's totally addictive Facebook page. She and I talked about what we do here at DDT and what guests can expect at the museum and on our various tours. Jayne, Sharon, Marilyn, Karen C., James Dean and the Lizard King. When I get the air date, I will let you know.
Last week I was a guest my friend Marla Brooks' podcast Stirring the Cauldron. We always have a great time and this was no exception. We discussed some famous Hollywood deaths and cases (butofcourse). We also talked about our own podcast. If you’d like to listen, you can do that here.
Speaking of our podcast, Mike and I are working on a new episode which we'll be recording soon. Welllll Doggies. I will certainly let you know when it drops. We’ve been extremely grateful for the feedback you’re giving us, so thank you.
We’ve had some good fortune lately. The Jean Harlow's Hollywood tour was so successful this year that we added a second tour and it sold out immediately. These images are from Sunday’s tour. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting this tour and all our tours.
Love,
Scott and the Dearly Departed Tours Team
