Hope everyone who celebrates has been enjoying their Thanksgiving so far! All of you have been PMed regarding what your character knew about Karen. :twisted: Look out for the first post very soon! Can't wait to get this going!

Yay! I just read it, (it was great!) and I know I said I wanted Evelyn to be Evie, but I feel like it sounds a little bit too child-ish if you know what I mean. Could you change it to just Evelyn? I'll change it in her profile too.

Everyone --

This is a really cool thing I found about yesterday that was a thing during the war. I have no idea how they were able to keep the place open if they weren't making money, but that's beside the point. The generosity of rich stars, I guess?

This is also the podcast I was listening to last night that was originally describing it, if you guys are interested. The first few minutes do a good job setting the atmosphere of early 40s Los Angeles, too.

I think our characters should all volunteer here at some point or another.

Also --

You guys can all make your first posts whenever now. I don't care what order you all go in. If you're unsure about anything, let me know.

I have most of my post together and I spent a bit of time last night researching minor actresses of the 30s and 40s, that I could mention as connections.

I'll begin working on Gabe's first entry after @LadyLizz pops her post up! I have some ideas, but most of them are just to set the scene for the kind of life he enjoys--with a little Humphrey-Bogart-Staring-At-Police-Friend-Across-The-Room unease at the lounge.

@Elinor, would you say that Vitophone is still operating off the Blockbuster success of its previous films? And what sort of project will Gabe and...gosh, I forgot her name--be working on once the other two leave to be Rally Gals in their own arc, unless they're traveling back and forth?

@Lumi

Re: Finances, definitely. But it's definitely something that's finite, which is why Vitophone needs a hit.

Here's what I'm thinking. Evelyn (@TheBlueCat) and Ann will be going. I doubt it will be *too* long of an arc, probably a post or two. But by the time we get back it will have been a few months. Because Andrew wants to get Saturday Evening right, he'll delay it until we get back.

You, plus @LadyLizz and @Steggy can do your part by volunteering at the Hollywood Canteen in the interim, which Andrew will make you do. I think he's also going to throw the three of you in a fluffy love triangle romantic comedy that won't be great but it'll be made quickly (by the time we get back), and it will pretty much be a financial success.

And the police might show up, too, either while we're gone or just after we get back. I haven't decided yet whether I'm going to create a pair of detective characters or keep them anonymous, but in the meantime, we don't have to worry about them. The country has bigger things on its mind with the war.

Who's posting next? If no one is, then I'll try to write my post later(if I have time, that is).
