They were advertising an upcoming exhibit called "Hello, Carol!" - a celebration of Carol Channing. I thought it looked pretty fun, and then I saw the Best Thing Ever. I can't describe it any better than the description online, so here you go:

She is kind of amazing. I am kind of way excited about this. Oh, and I'm going with my friend Andrea, who I used to do theatre with in high school. this is going to be unbelievable.
PS - I bought Special Edition 2-Disc DVD sets of both Singin' in the Rain and Meet Me In St. Louis at Costco today. Price? $8.99 each. Even though I own Singin' in the Rain on VHS already, this was totally worth it.
PPS - My email (both corporate and personal) has been down for almost an hour, leaving me unable to do about 99% of the work I normally do. Hooray.
