The NYC version of the Tom Humphrey Memorial

Subject: The Tom Thing

Hey y'all,

So here is the scoop for Saturday 10/10

We are gathering around 6:30 at Carmen's place of work - Du-Art Media Services at 245 W. 55th St. between Broadway & 8th on the 9th Floor. Access to the building can sometimes be funky, so if you have trouble getting in, call Carmen or DB and we will come down to get you in.

This is a BYOB affair, but we will have water, cups, glasses, ice and munchies.

Once we are all assembled we will figure out what to do about dinner - we'll probably order in, or there are various pubs in the neighborhood where we could go if people prefer. Some people are bringing old photos so if you have stuff like that to share, bring it, baby!
Phones: Carmen 917-607-4332 DB xxx-xxx-xxxx

As for the entertainment portion of the evening - here are the highlights: Jim Bradley and Charlie Sullivan are nearly finished with their multi-media presentation inspired by Kristina Katz called "Behind the Bleachers", while Jim Simpson will be reading a short epic poem by Christian Northcote. Russell will decide between giving a modern dance rendition of "As Tom plunges through the west wing floor" or "Baseball-headed men I have known" and while Val will be singing "The Ballad of Kyle and Jane...and Tom".

Can't wait to see you all again!

Can't wait to hear how this gathering went. It's no surprise that the room will be filled with talented people, a testament to Tom H.

I just heard about Tom today and I'm so sad. But reading your post, Dianne made me smile.
I have great memories of Tom, I just wish they weren't so distant. Some feel like they were yesterday, though.
He taught me so much.
I wish I could have joined you last month. I'm sure it was a tribute fitting for Tom, sweet and totally bent. You should have had Larry (Lorenzo) Aragon do the choreography. We're the only ones who know that is was Larry and NOT Sienfeld that invented yada yada yada.

Warmly,
