Live Blogging Planned

In two days I leave for Fall River and will be in town all week. I plan to attempt to live blog while I am there, posting interesting items and experiences as they happen. I will also upload images daily from the trip and attempt some video as well, if I can manage it.

The trip is planned around my speaking on Lizzie Borden in Popular Culture at the Fall River Public Library on Wednesday, August 9th, at 6:30PM. The library informs me that the meeting room only has seating for 75, so come early! Last year’s talk at the First Congregational Church (on Documentary Lizzie) had over 100 people attend. And boy, was it hot when they turned off the air conditioner because it was making too much noise. I don’t think anyone noticed how I melted that night. When it was over, I was drenched!

The library promises a cool environment and standing room will be available for those who arrive close to curtain.

The talk is a multi-media extravaganza! Clips, sound, images, and music, all with a dash of humor. I hope you can attend.

My blogging today and tomorrow will be minimal, but I will post both days.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
