Tour Pics
8/14/97
I arrived in Minneapolis on a rainy, Thursday afternoon. I called the studio, but was unable to get in the tour the following morning. That evening I drove by the studio just to get a picture of the building and sign. As the rains stopped I got out of the car and quickly took a picture of the studio. | |
I then had my picture taken next to
the sign and prepared to leave. Luckily I met Paul Chaplin and Brad Keely at that point and they invited me in for a few minutes. |
|
Just inside the door was the Time/ Space sign and some Tragic Moments figures. | |
I also saw the Router Ouija
Board's Bless This Mess sign and Tibby. (I understand he disappeared about a year
later.) The Daktari Stool was around the corner, but I didn't take a picture. (A few years later I picked up the Tragic Moments, Bless This Mess and Daktari Stool during the eBay auction.) |

After chatting with Brad for a little while and seeing Mary Jo walk across the set I suddenly realized I was just holding my camera. A quick shot of the SOL set. | |
Directly across the room was the season 8 Roman World set. It hadn't been seen on television yet when I was there. | |
Of course I had to get a picture of the spaghetti planet. | |
And finally, one of the lunch area, which I recognized from the 1995 infomercial filmed there. | |
As I was leaving I asked if I could get something for a keepsake and Brad graciously complied with a business card. |
