HGTV Comes To Gaston Avenue

A lot of shit has gone down on Gaston Avenue over the years. But, I'd wager a guess that up until this point in time, none of it involved the Home And Garden Television Network, better known as HGTV.

About a month ago, I pitched my house to a show called "If Walls Could Talk". They feature houses with weird histories and sometimes appraise stuff that's found the historic houses. I figured since my house was a hippy commune in the 1970s, that fact would get the attention of the show's producers. It did. And three weeks later the show's crew was on my doorstep --- all eleven of them, including the show's host. It was fun. I spent all day with them last week, which included me doing reinactments of me finding stuff in my house, talking about its history for the camera and doing several surprise takes when an appraiser put a value on stuff in my house. On my own valition, I actually used the phrase "Holy Moly." But the best part of the show was a reinactment they did of hippies meditating in my breakfast room --- which really used to happen.

Watch for the show to air in about six months. I'm hoping it will be the stupidest episode of "If Walls Could Talk" ever.
