The Money Fish
TICKET GIVEAWAY: Win one of five pairs of tickets to see "The Money Fish" at the Hudson Theatres in Hollywood on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. Sometimes you have to journey to the end of the world to find yourself. A natural raconteur with a baby face that belies the depth of his experience, playwright/actor John Cox relates the gripping tale of his search for fortune and adventure. His yearning to belong propels him from boot camp to the Bering Sea; along the way, he must pass brutal tests and conquer his greatest fears. We learn that hell isn't hot. Hell is freezing cold, wet - and stinks like fish. From Army Airborne Ranger to commercial fisherman on the Bering Sea: the true story of one man's harrowing journey to a better life. To win, send us an email telling us your most unusual job at [email protected]

Mercury is almost out of retrograde, but don't celebrate too much just yet. This is still an excellent period for us to be pragmatic in our choices. Make sure to have as much information as possible before committing to anything through Oct. 9. Avoid any legal entanglements. We should be aware of our emotions and how we respond to others. Our feelings can guide us to what we most desire or what we no longer need. Pay attention to communications, and ask questions if anything is unclear. We should remain vigilant about our mercurial mood swings.

  


 

The Other TWA Rocket: Lost & Found, Kansas City, MO by Charles Phoenix


CP TWA Rocket  
 
The TWA Rocket to the Moon is an icon of Disneyland's early days. It was the centerpiece and crowning outer space touch of the original Tomorrowland, "the world of 1987." But that wasn't the only TWA Rocket to the Moon. I'm not talking about the smaller scale "tribute" to the original that stands in Tomorrowland today.

In 1956, TWA's big bad boy, Howard Hughes, ordered a copy of Tomorrowland's TWA rocket and prominently perched it atop TWA headquarters in Kansas City MO, where it stood for, well, I'm not exactly sure. When the rocket was removed, through what had to be an odd set of circumstances, it wound up in a trailer park somewhere in suburban Kansas City...
