Dottie Birthday Party Aug. 22

If you get the newsletter (and if you do not, what is stopping you?) then you know that Tuesday night (8/22) we are celebrating Dottie's birthday at the Algonquin. I just found out that is the same night the hotel is having a party for one of their bartenders, who is turning 90 on Wednesday.

We have had a party for Dottie 7 years straight. So we will still be in the lobby, but probably not at the large table by the door. I spoke to the catering director yesterday, a fantastic guy, and he is going to try and accomodate us. Maybe I will wear my Dorothy Parker t-shirt so people can find me?

If you can't make it to the hotel, just celebrate in your own way!

YES, the walking tour is on Saturday, Noon, at the hotel

Bucks County Photos Now Online

The walking tour we had on July 22 at Mrs. Parker's house in Bucks County was one of the greatest events we've had in the eight years the Dorothy Parker Society has been around. We had all the ingredients for a perfect day:

- The location. It was the first time we all went inside a former home of Mrs. Parker's (not counting the Gonk).

- The setting. Ever been to Bucks County, PA? It is BEAUTIFUL. Now you know why Dottie and so many thousands of others love the place. And it's only 70 miles from Times Square!

- The people. OK, this should be first. There were 42 people that showed up, and all were fantastic. Some drove 100+ miles to be there, some walked down the (private) road.

So here are 40 photos from the day. I hope that whomever purchases the house lets us back in for another tour. Maybe we could do one every other year? Who knows?

What a great day it was.
