It was a jam packed weekend of entertainment starting with Friday night and Blondie at the Lincoln Park zoo. I’ve seen Debbie about a kajillion times and this ranked among the best live shows. She was on, and obviously enjoying herself. Did you ever see the Simpsons when Homer sees Grand Funk Railroad at some [...]

Tonight I’m going to see Blondie at the Lincoln Park Zoo for the 30th anniversary Parallel Lines tour. It’s funny, because of course it doesn’t seem like 30 years, or maybe it does.
Whenever I see a Blondie show the crowd is always very eclectic. Soccer moms, former prom queens, older former punks and new wavers [...]

Gee whiz a lot has happened since my last post but I have been pretty swamped with L’imitations of Life. I am directing, costuming, sound designing, acting, producing and most likely scrubbing the floors after the show.
Monday we had a photoshoot for Summer Camp 2 and Rick Aguilar and George put up with us, producing delightful [...]

We started rehearsals on Limitatons of Life yesterday with a read through and movie viewing yesterday at my place. Two of the actors didn’t show which truthfully annoyed me because I like everything to go my way. They had excuses but, you know how it is. There aren’t alot of rehearsals for this show and [...]
