Just heard this great Elliot Kashian story from his daughter on her podcast and I want to share.

As a young man, Elliot Kashian got lucky at the track one day and decided to spend his winnings on a pair of blue suede shoes just like in the song that was popular at the time. Always one to impress the ladies, he wore these shoes everywhere and soon they were in need of repair. He took them to the local cobbler shop in South Milwaukee and was given a ticket stub to get them back when the repairs were done.

A week later, Elliot stops by the local recruitment office and sees what kind of an easy job he can get out of Uncle Sam between wars. After much haggling, he negotiates himself a 6 year tour as a Navy Cook. It's hard work but there's no camping and nobody shooting at him so he won again as far as he's concerned.

When Elliott gets done with his tour he returns to South Milwaukee to the joy of his friends and family. One of many of the gifts he receives is a new wallet from his aunt. As he is moving everything from one wallet to the next he discovers the old ticket stub from the cobbler! Finally back in South Milwaukee and in need of some shoes that aren't Navy surpluss he hurries over to seek out the cobbler's shop.

He is relieved to find that not only is the cobbler still in business, the same man is working the counter! Elliot produces his ticket and says "It's been six years, but I'm finally here to pick up my shoes. Do you know where they are?"

"Of course!" The cobbler replies after reading the ticket stub. "I know exactly where these shoes are."

"Well can I have them?" asks Elliot.

The cobbler shrugs and answers "They'll be ready next week."

Pioneering woman in animation

Studios appreciated her work, but somehow didn't think to put her where she would show up in credits. After reading so many stories in the sciences and literature, it's hardly surprising to find animation was a boys' club too. A loss to everyone.

hey guys, i'm getting one of those light-up custom song night lights. The cool Etsy ones, y'know?

I wanna put a Steam Powered Giraffe song on there, and I wanted to consult you guys (jumping up and down!!). I was thinking Clockwork Vaudville because it's one of my favorites plus the first live music song I heard so it's special, but I'm open to suggestions!!!

I'm gonna do a poll though, probably ending it in, like, an hour or so though

I chose new york as my mc's hometown mostly because of the lgbt history there and I feel like my musician mc would be interested in Broadway :3

On This Day in New York City History March 21, 1867: Theater director and producer of the famed Broadway shows called the Ziegfield Follies, Florenz Ziegfield Jr. (March 21, 1867 -  July 22, 1932) is born in Chicago, Illinois.

It can be argued that the Great White Way aka Broadway is what it is today because of Ziegfield's shows, that where held on Broadway from 1907 until his death in 1932. Based on the the Folies Bergère of Paris, Ziegfield's shows were a blend of vaudeville and variety shows which led to the creation of such terms as the Ziegfield Girls and led to the rise of many of the famous artists of the 1920s through the 1940s.

Ziegfield passed away due to  complications from long term pneumonia at the age of 65.

Song(s) are Overture and Vaudeville Villan, by MF DOOM and Viktor Vaughn! Here’s my speedpaint of the drawing, the drawing and the image that inspired it (lol)

Why do you like mildly sarcastic, self referential answers to simple questions so much?

I've been asking myself the same thing!

Lk My favorite thing about the final concert performances atomic vaudeville recording on Sound Cloud is the fucking description

One of the things I really miss are ticket stubs. I like the convenience but hate the truly ephemeral nature of electronic tickets. While not every show I once saw had a proper ticket (most did), stubs were always good mementos. I can't remember the last time I had a paper stub to save.

This nostalgic thought brought to you because the husband and I watched the Wax Trax Records documentary last night, reminding me that I have visited a few legendary record stores in my time.

I literally stumbled into Wax Trax in 1985, when I made a brief stop in Chicago on my way to college in Massachusetts. I didn't know about them before I walked through their doors, and had no idea how much the bands the label produced/distributed would become part of my life. Serendipity, perhaps. I was and am still a packrat, so I apparently kept the Wax Trax store cards I picked up there, fixing them into one of my journals a few years later, with various other store cards and, yes, concert ticket stubs.

I also started to frame ticket stubs to concerts (here's an early 2000s set), but I stopped that after realizing that we'd need way more space than we had.

The conversation about how to make the muppets relevant again comes up periodically and makes me feel insane for thinking that there's no need to revolutionise the muppets? Like that's it. That's the draw. They're muppets.
