I just want to say “thank you” to everyone. This thread has brought back very fond memories. 🙂

I still own my copy of [Alice’s Restaurant Cookbook](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/039440100X/qid=1126874108/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-5835104-3625661?v=glance&s=books&n=507846). I bought it when it first came out.

Of course you will. It takes all day to sing the damn thing. Forget “getting it stuck in my head” singing it ONCE will waste a day.

Enjoy,

I thought I heard Arlo recently (within the past couple years) bought the church and is rehabbing it.

I watched the movie on cable just a couple weeks ago. What a time warp THAT was!

He’s owned it for around 15 years or so and runs a community centre there.

Alice had a cat, and cut a hole in her door for the cat to go in and out through, and dressed it up like a tiny little door. A friend of hers liked it and did the same thing to her own door. And that lady is a friend of ours, and we liked her door and copied it for our own 16 cats. Small world.
