BREAKING NEWS! THE GREEN LAWN ABBEY
BROKEN INTO!
UPDATES!
The Green Lawn Abbey Preservation
Association has been working to preserve this historic piece of
architecture that houses many notable residents including Howard Thurston.
They also work to educate the public about
the history of the Abbey and the individuals entombed there. By donating
any amount to this great association you can help them move forward with
ensuring the preservation of the Green Lawn Abbey and in part, hopefully
keep things like this from happening again.
Today I visited the home of Maurine Christopher and interviewed her for
my newest project.
It was amazing to look through the Milbourne

On today's episode of
Bravo's Top Chef Master's the chefs must create culinary magic to
awe their high-profile guests which include Neil Patrick Harris, Ed
Alonzo, and Max Maven. This all takes place at the famed Magic
Castle in LA!
The chef's compete in the "Dante Room" which features numerous Dante
posters, including some "Thurston Presents Dante" posters! Once
again it is the "Devil" panel poster! Take a look...

On today's episode of
HBO's True Blood they showed the Howard Thurston "Devil" Panel
printed by the Otis Lithograph Company in "Fangtasia", the hip vampire
bar.
(Also, note the Karmi poster in the images below. There seems to
be some other magic images as well, but very small and hard to make out).
Take a look...
This is not the 1st time a Howard Thurston poster appeared on the show!
The "Devil" poster appeared on the show before along with the Thurston
Strobridge "Do The Spirits Come Back?"...
