Friends, pals and confidants–get ready to laugh your way through a first-of-its-kind, weekend-long classic TV comedy fan gathering! Golden Con: Thank You For Being a Fan, will take place from April 22 to April 24 in Chicago’s historically LGBTQ+ Northalsted Neighborhood.
The festivities include a "pop-up Rusty Anchor Bar," a "Mother of a Solid Gold Dancer" disco party, live parody shows from Hell in a Handbag Theater Company, and guest appearances from "guest stars, producers and others directly connected to the show."
No word on whether the show's only surviving star, Betty White, who turns 100 in January, will be on the bill.

Theres no Golden Girls left though...so no point. I mean by now George Clooney who was a young guy on that is a Golden Boy.

Although I suspect this is just one huge excuse for a drag show.
Which is fine by me. I've had my Blanche wig in mothballs for too long.
Is that you Hep?

That does look like fun. And the perfect place to wear assless chaps….

Oh man, I can't tell you how many times JeffV has asked me if he could go out dressed as Mrs. Garrett. This will be good news for him!
So I should avoid scheduling Spring OctoCon that weekend…

One of TV’s most iconic and critically acclaimed late 1980s/early 1990s comedies, NBC’s “The Golden Girls,” is coming back as a pop-up restaurant experience.
Bucket Listers is behind “The Golden Girls Kitchen” – a fast-casual fully functioning Los Angeles restaurant and bar with an emphasis on desserts.
Located in Beverly Hills, the eatery will debut in July and will be an “officially licensed” and “immersive homage” to the show which still makes numerous best TV series of all time lists. All four of its stars have since passed away, Betty White passing late last year at the age of 99.
I'll have the Blanche Burger, medium rare, please.
Side story:
Zarathud got me these for Christmas.
I wore them to the gym a few weeks ago. While doing shoulder presses, I heard some giggling from someone behind me. Wondering what that was about, I looked around...then looked down. That's when I realized the top of my boxers were peaking out over my gym shorts and folks could see most of Dorothy's head.
Those underpants are awesome. Even better, they’re from a local shop.

Hepcat, what are you doing in Iowa and why are you at my son's high school?
