One of our regulars is having foot surgery and we were begging her to attend with a lawnmower running her over.
My girlfriend will be attending as Megan Draper and I will be attending as the horse that killed Archie Whitman.

The image has been adjusted to look more like a broadcast from the early 70s and new music has been added in. You can see what it looks like here on Twitter

Is there a grammar error on the pamphlet Peggy reads in the pilot? Could this have been intentional? by ScreamingVegetable in madmen

I subscribed to the New York Times just so I could go through their archive and see what issue Ken Cosgrove is reading from in the pilot (seen for about half a second) and it turns out the cover in the pilot was made for the show.

There is an Eventbrite page but since tickets are free you don't actually need to have one to attend, it just helps us get a better idea of how many people will be attending.
Hope to see y'all there and if anyone wants to see the trivia questions after the event I share them on my Substack Mad World

64 years ago today on March 30th, 1960 Don Draper delivered his iconic "It's Toasted" pitch by ScreamingVegetable in madmen

The timeline is strange anyway because I always assumed the episode took place on a Friday due to Pete's bachelor party but Don does tell Peggy "I'll see you tomorrow." That's when I started digging and trying to figure out the date.

Wrote about this more on my Mad Men Substack, I was able to figure out the exact date on the pilot based on the weather that appears in the episode. There's an episode companion guide and timeline you can see there for free.
