Gotta make more money. Got to. Have to. Gotta have to. Keep taking steps, keep sending out ships. One day at a time. Right? Got to find a way to create a financial bridge from today into tomorrow. What else...
One hour. One hour to you'd-better-do-well-or-else scrutiny. One hour till everything I've worked for for the last twenty one years comes to fruition. Okay, perhaps that's a touch overdramatic. I'm sitting here in a bathrobe, eying my mug of stale...
This post is purely about a show, folks. Theatre, all theatre--no politics here---uh.... My old theatre company--the one I was a member of for "five minutes or something" is doing their second rendition of BUSH IS BAD, The Musical! (Alaskan...
Have you heard of a great band called TastiSkank? I discovered them about six months or so ago on MySpace and haven???t been able to get enough of them ever since. I even met one of the girls at an...
Somebody get this woman another Emmy. Once again, hilarious and brilliant. Just in case you missed it - or even if you already saw it, it just never gets old... http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/vp-debate-open-palin-biden/727421/ It's pure perfection that while Palin and her cronies...

Fresh off their summer tour, the award winning The Pumpkin Pie Show will return to New York City from October 16-November 1 at Under St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place) for their their 10th annual performance. I have never seen The Pumpkin Pie show, but the press release described the experience as follows: "A rigorous storytelling session packed with enough intensity to feel like a rock concert rather than a bedtime tale. Filled with tales of the bizarre, dark, and perverted, The Pumpkin Pie Show is bedtime stories for adults." Certainly sounds up my alley! Stay tuned for a BlogStage...

Hypothetical for you here: If U2 and Radiohead are both on vacation at the same time, do some other musicians have to sidle up to that "best band in the universe" title? Chris Martin says so. But he was kidding....
What if you stripped away the aggressive military-precision multimillion-dollar campaigns, the industry buzz, the pressure to Say Something Timely, and The Harvey Weinstein Factor. What would you have? Not Oscar season, that's for sure. A number of people, notably Spike...
Does this mean Cindy McCain will be stopping by "The Colbert Report?" Not likely. She's probably still stinging from the sit-down with those broads at "The View" who tore into her and hubby/presidential candidate John McCain a few weeks back....
It's a tale much like "The Talented Mr. Ripley," with political assassinations instead of actual murders, that follows the life and death of an unlikely operative who mentored Karl Rove, helped get Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush elected, and...
Grab a stiff drink -- it's 5 o'clock somewhere and it's world-gone-to-hell-in-a-hand-basket time everywhere -- and listen to the predictions of the trend spotters who gave us the dreaded terms metrosexual and cocooning. Financial collapse, ongoing wars, tainted food, natural...
