End of 2000 Miscellaneous Pix

On the day of Drew & the Annas’ fire (November 17th, 2000), Steve quickly packed a bag and headed for Nebraska!

Jodi packed a very large bag of clothing and toys and books for Miss Annaclarice to send with Steve! Since that bag was too big to carry on the plane, Steve checked BOTH bags
– hand-carrying only his attaché case and computer.

To fly on such short notice (without paying over a thousand bucks for a “last-minute” ticket!), Steve had to use his TWA pass – which means that he flew free, but had to fly “Standby.” Amazingly, he consistently managed to get the LAST SEAT on each plane (both in Houston and in St. Louis)!!! Such luck is almost unheard of. Normally, he gets “bumped” and has to wait for another flight!

So, miracle-upon-miracle, Steve arrived in Omaha that same afternoon – as swiftly as if he’d spent a fortune on his ticket. Unfortunately, his BAGS did not fare as well! They were “lost” somewhere along the trek TO Nebraska. (In fact, we worried that they wouldn’t show up until AFTER Steve had returned to Texas!)

THUS: While many, many people rallied to help Drew and the Annas
by immediately providing THEM with clothing,
STEVE was the one who ended up with NO CLOTHES!
Having nothing to sleep in at the end of the day (nor to change-into the next day),
Steve BRIEFLY (Har! Har!) considered wearing some of Dad’s apparel!
“WHO’S THAT OTHER GUY??!!” You Ask?!
Well, I’ll tell you!

Travis Turpin is ONE of Dad’s most treasured “Screamers” (Scarlet & Cream Singers = “Screamers”). He reminds me a lot of Steve. Travis visited Mom & Dad in December, 2000, while on a break between two National Touring Company shows. During his visit, considering how much he reminds me of Steve, and recalling the pix I took of Steve “modeling” Dad’s boxer shorts with Mom, I decided to make Travis assume similar poses in Dad’s boxer shorts!

BUT, WAIT!!! Some time in the weeks after the fire, AnnaB had brought some laundry down to M&D’s house. While folding said laundry, I had occasion to handle DREW’S underwear!

At that moment, I was immediately seized by another Flight of Ideas attack, and Pat and his buddy were handy! Pat & His Buddy wearing DREW’S UNDERWEAR on their heads!!!
