Subject:  Scenes from FOTR Convention

I have just posted some scenes from the Friends of Old Time Radio
Convention that took place this past October in New Jersey. I'll
eventually have clips from all the DVDs, but right now here are some
nice long clips from the sessions that took place at the start of the
convention.

For those of you who have never attended an FOTR convention this will
give you some idea of what takes place. Maybe seeing some of this
will entice you to attend next year.

If you were there, then this will bring back some memories.
