No, tonight is the opening reception for a new exhibition in the Bob Hope Gallery at the Library of Congress on which my husband has been working for the past several months. It\u2019s one of many history exhibitions he\u2019s created for the LOC over the years. Hope for America: Performers, Politics & Pop Culture<\/em> explores the involvement of entertainers in politics throughout the 20th century, often through satirical commentary, sometimes through direct participation.\u00a0There is also a moving segment on Hope\u2019s work for the USO entertaining troops all over the world, which he did for SEVENTY YEARS.\u00a0The exhibition features film and television clips and radio broadcasts as well as photos, letters, sheet music, and other artifacts to tell the story.<\/p>\n

If you are in the DC area, come visit! I\u2019ll bet you could use a few belly laughs. (This is the cover of the brochure I designed for the exhibit.)<\/p>\n
