New Here’s (Me) Looking at You

Here’s me looking at you again. This time you’re going on and on about that relationship. You know, the one where she’s calling all the shots? Yeah, that one.

There are more over here. I’m told it’s worth it to get them all to play at the same time. I don’t think I’ll [...]

Satisfying.

I love watching people enjoy themselves especially if they’re Muppets and Ricky Gervais.  Thank you and a long overdue cocktail go to Michael Kusek for pointing this out to all.

And despite not understanding one word of Elmo’s portion of the song at the end, I’ve been humming “Set Your Piggies Free” for going on fourteen [...]

SHREW – LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HER.

Or me, for that matter.  I mean, I’ll be in a skirt or dress the entire time.

Seriously, this production is a new take on one of Shakespeare’s more…traditional plays.  Tickets are going fast and limited because we’re placing the audience in chairs on the stage of the Pines Theater with the play taking place on [...]

All About the Pole Position

I came across a rather innovative home accessory today. Ever see one of these?

Clarification on the PSA

There was some confusion over this video.  Allow me to clarify.  The hand is mine.  The screaming at the end is both mine and friend’s Rosie Perera.
Rosie made a wonderful cake to honor the final episode of LOST. It was complete with a marshmallow polar bear and hand-distressed airplane. The latter is the [...]

The Susan Boyle Effect – Take 2

I don’t think I got to the heart of the matter around the Susan Boyle Effect yesterday.  For me, it’s not about the talent at all, despite it being more than impressive.  It’s about just accepting the person for the person. And being judged on nothing more than our root of kindness.
But the show is [...]

The Susan Boyle Effect

You watched the performance.  Here it is again in case you’ve been trapped under something heavy for the past two weeks or you need a refresher.  (The embed option has been “disabled by request.”  Meh.)

So here’s my question.  What if Susan Boyle had walked out on to that stage, did her little jig of the [...]

Welcome, ______________.

Hello people who read the Best Of… Advocate of this week, April 15th.
I’d like to thank the voters in the 2009 Best of the Valley Readers’ Poll for voting my defunct, deflated, detached, just plain de-a-d blog Paradise City Best Local Blog.  It’s really nice of you all.  Thank you.
However I am but one person [...]

OTR in T-Minus 4 Days

Our Town Revisited opens at the Academy of Music this Friday.  It’s our world premiere of a show that’s already headed for New York in July.
It’s a gem of a show if I do say so myself.  But honestly it’s very different from anything else I’ve been involved with on stage.  Sure there’s live music [...]
