So excited to see that Blaine and Kurt are finally have actually conservations with one another. I really loved the idea of the rehearsals being group get togethers. This is the perfect way to show the progression of both relationships.

Blaine's birthday story was adorable. I'm happy to see that he's already comfortable enough around Kurt to share such personal stories. I hope they get the to speak in private again soon.

I think Kurt caught Blaine a little by surprise there. No one ever knows what to say to Blaine when they find out his parents are dead -- it's all awkward apologies and sympathy. Kurt, having lost a parent himself, doesn't like it when people respond to him that way, so he does what he always wishes people would do. Blaine is caught unawares and just starts rambling, since he rarely has any opportunity to talk about his parents. When he realizes what he's doing, he stops. That's partially out of politeness, though. I'm glad you enjoyed his story.

Thank you for reading and commenting! :)

love the howdy doody mention :). my dad used to sing me the theme song all the time.

Howdy Doody was my dad's favorite TV show when he was younger, so I can sympathize. Thank you for reading! :)

This just continues to get better and better. Your attention to detail is brilliant, and I love the little tidbits of research you include at the end of each chapter. I feel like I'm learning about this almost-forgotten era at the same time as reading a great story, which is fantastic.

Thank you so much! You know, some people call it attention to detail, and some people call it something else entirely. ;) I'm glad that you're continuing to enjoy this. Thanks for following along.

I love the Blaine and Kurt interaction in this story! I also like Rachel and Finn- but I'm glad they are somewhat in the background. :)
Your writing is really wonderful, and I feel like you're painting such a great picture of the 60's- all the little details in all the best places!
I think I'm addicted to this story! I love Klaine ff, but this is my FIRST time reading something that is set in a different time period (its usually just not my thing), and i am SO loving it. I'm really excited to see where you take us.
Oh! And, I saw on Tumblr that you have been writing ff since Babysitters Club books, and I was THRILLED! I bought those books like crack. Now I've moved on to bigger and better... Klaine fanfic!

Hee! Well, I'm glad you don't mind having Finchel in the background -- because if you were looking for a story that focuses on them, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. ;)

Thank you so much for the kind words. Working on this has been a ton of fun, so I'm happy to hear that it's paying off for you. I've always enjoyed reading period AUs, so it's definitely been interesting to try my hand at one.

Now, back when I was 9 years old, I definitely wasn't calling it fanfic, but yes, I wrote all kinds of stories with the BSC characters. (Ah, memories. I used to imitate their different handwriting and everything.) I've been through quite a few fandoms since then too...

Anyway, thank you for reading!

I'm really enjoying this story so far! Can't wait for the next chapter! :)

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I'm glad that you're enjoying it. If all goes as planned, the next chapter should be up by next weekend at the latest, although I'm hoping for sometime between Glee and next week's FLF.
