Drinking with Mr. B.
What is your favorite story about bending
the elbow with Mr. B?
One of mine was from 1976 when I was hanging
out with Mr. B. in 1976 at the San Diego
Comic con.We were in his room with Mr.B,
Harlan Elison.George Clayton Johnson,Mel Blanc,and June Foray watching them doing X
rated rock and bulwinkle routines.It is something I am blessed to the day I die.
Where were video cameras when we needed them.

None, yet (although I could relate a couple about George!), but I'm working on it.

I've invited myself over to his house for a glass of red once or twice, but so far, he hasn't taken the bait - and I even offered to bring the bottle!

You got that right!

Although, he does like his red wine, and an occasional whiskey.

Ah yes - his lovely "schoolbus yellow" emsemble.

I see that back in '03, he favoured a red version:

I never met him.


But I could make up a great story, starring him and I!


If there is a God, I know he likes to rock.

You can always tell when George Clayton spends some time with Ray.
