Issue 001 • November 2001
Welcome to the first edition of LimeLetter. Let me briefly explain
what you will be seeing on this and future editions of the newsletter.
First of all, this is an informal, wrap up, of changes and updates
to my web site projects. It is important to know that both Limegreen
Tangerine and Bea
Arthur in the Lime Light web sites are nothing more than a hobby
for me. As a career, web design has rules and laws, but as a hobby
design on the web can be quite adventurous! Its all about evolution
as well, as my designs and programing evolves, so will this newsletter.
So look forward to changes everywhere within the upcoming months.
Change is the spice of life!

What the hell is LimeGreen
Tangerine?
a) an online portfolio
b) a personal web site made by an illiterate idiot
c) a virtual playground of nothingness
d) delusions of granduer
Answer :: all of the above
I have the hardest time explaining to people what my web site is
about. Mainly, because I don't know myself. The wonderful part is
that it is okay that I don't know.
• Quicktime and Flash ::
Limegreen Tangerine is fully integrating Apple's Quicktime technology
and Macromedia's Flash and Shockwave as a norm into the design.
I have been replacing huge animated GIF files with smooth Flash
and Quicktime intros on various web projects. The features are just
too cool to pass up and they bring net usability to a new level.
Please upgrade your browsers to Quicktime
5.0 and Flash
5 today. It will be well worth your internet experience on this
and other web sites.

May I point out a few other web sites that make me happy?

• kshkid
:: another Kevin with good taste. check out his 'darth vader tribute'
page. did you know there was a darth vader sundae? now you do!
• estudio
:: simply the best use of flash and shockwave i have ever seen.
a well worth company!
| Left to my own devices :: |
 2
years and 12 days after seeing the Pet
Shop Boys live here in Chicago, the magic as returned. Finally,
the Pet Shop Boys released their Nightlife tour on DVD. If your
a PSB fan, its a must have.
Also out on DVD in December is The Cure's greatest hits!
There has been
a lot of debate over Apple's
newly released device, iPod.
I only have one thing to say about the iPod :: it is the perfect
Christmas present for ME :)

Breaking News (see
below)
That uncomprimising, enterprising, any thing but tranquilizing...
and then there's Bea!
I was hit by a big brick of luck this year. I have always been a
huge fan of Bea Arthur since the mid 80's in the original run of
the Golden Girls. A decade later, the fascination dramatically esculated
after accidently seeing an episode of Maude. I became completely
obsessed with Bea, yet couldn't find much information about her.
Therefore, I decided to create a valuable fan web site about her,
Bea Arthur in the Lime Light. I launched the site in the beginning
of February 2001. Luck came into play when to my surprise I was
informed, about a month later, that Bea would be starting a one
women tour through 26 states over the next year.
Since then, Bea has come and gone through Chicago, where I got the
chance to see her show 3 times and meet her in person a few more
times at local gay bars and cabarets. Truely a dream come true!
I created a mini
web site within Bea
Arthur in the Lime Light dedicated to her show And Then There's
Bea. Here, I cover tour dates that are not posted on her official
tour site, my personal accounts with Bea with photos, other
people's stories of meeting her, and much more!
Dec. 11-23 (no show on 17th): Palm Beach, FL - Royal Poinciana Playhouse
Dec. 26-30: Thousand Oaks, CA - Fred Kavli Theatre, Thousand Oaks
Civic Arts Plaza
Jan. 2-6, 2002: Phoenix, Orpheum Theatre
Jan. 11-13, 2002: Lynchburg, VA, Lynchburg Academy of Music (to
be staged at Smith Hall, Randolph-Macon Woman's College)
Early Jan - February: New York City!
• LimeLetter newsletter launched (your here baby!)
• Many more Quicktime videos have been converted and uploaded
to the site, in the collection section!
Here are a few things I have in the pipeline. Basically, I'll get
to them when I have the time.
• Bea's biography :: a collaborative effort written by myself
and good Bea friend, Jessica.
• More Quicktime videos
• Golden
Girls UK :: simply the best, overall, web site dedicated to
the Golden Girls. the webmaster is very personable, which makes
any web site even more enjoyable.
• And
Then There's Bea Yahoo! Club :: for more updated news on Bea
Arthur and her tour, check out this Yahoo! Club that I created earlier
this year. It has been an extremely valuable resource of information.
• And
Then There's Bea :: this is the official web site to Bea's current
tour. Unfortunately, its pretty clunky and has only been updated
once. If I were to rate this site, I would have to give it a thumbs
down... but it's worth checking out!
Contacting me. I love hearing from (most) of you, so always feel
free to email or instant message me. I promise (almost) to return
your email, however, I do get backed up and it may be a week or
two until I can reply. Just a little warning for you in advanced!
We're going to NYC! (hopefully)
I am in the process of organizing an exciting event with the
members of the And
Then There's Bea Yahoo! Club. We're putting our heads together
and packing our bags and going to New York City to see Bea!
Contact me immediatly if your interested. I will be making an
official confirmation of this event on Sunday, January 6th, 2002
pending the turn out of interest.
Bea on CD
Just announced: Bea's show is going to be recorded for distrubution
on CD! No date for release has been made at this time.
Club Chat
The first club chat on And
Then There's Bea Yahoo! Club will be held on December 2nd.
Please stop by and join the fun!
