Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at The Public Theater

I am about to be pretty harsh in my review of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson which we saw last night at The Public Theater. If you’re a fan of the show, you might want to turn away now. If you don’t like reading anything critical of anything or anybody, turn away now. I will only [...]

Another theSetNYC Show

Three weeks ago, we attended our first theSet NYC show, documented here. While the show was a little choppy, we really liked the place, Le Poisson Rouge (specifically, the Gallery Bar). We think the people behind theSet are wonderful, and we believe in their vision for showcasing upcoming talent. So, when I saw that they [...]

theSet NYC at Le Poisson Rouge

A month ago, I posted about a wonderful weekend that included catching Altar Boyz at New World Stages. As a result (I assume) I received an email from Pim, a member of the team that founded theSet NYC. theSet NYC is a great idea. Collect a group of talented performers and promote a show featuring [...]

Wes and Hadar’s Excellent Adventure

Many more people participated in one or more of the activities I’m about to list. Only Wes and I enjoyed every single one of them, hence the accurate title. Wes flew up on Thursday morning and I picked him up at Newark Airport. We headed straight to the city and met Lois and two friends [...]

Richard Lewis at Tarrytown Music Hall

I’ve been a long-time fan of Richard Lewis. In addition to loving his standup act, both Lois and I were fans of Anything But Love for its entire run. Last night was the first time that either of us has seen him perform live. He had an unannounced opening act (which I’ll cover later). Richard [...]

Home Depot Customer Service

There are many ways to tell this story, and I’m sure that I’ll pick the wrong one… Before I start railing, let me state that for the most part, Lois and I like Home Depot, and the majority of our in-store experiences have been very positive. On to our tale of woe. We have outdoor [...]

Catching Up

It’s been exactly a week since I last posted. Usually, if I take that long a break, it’s a combination of not much to say and not much time to say it in. This time, I had a number of things to say (one in particular) and plenty of time to say it. I purposely [...]

Kung Fu Panda

Lois and I had a slightly unusual, but completely lovely weekend. On Friday, our goddaughter and fiance drove a Budget rental truck up from Richmond, VA with a bunch of their stuff. They are moving to NYC after their honeymoon (putting them in NYC in three weeks!). We helped them move their stuff in and [...]

MoveOn.org Ads

I haven’t written about politics in quite a while, and I should probably keep it that way, but I can’t, so here goes… By now, if you haven’t seen the new ads being put out by MoveOn.org, or seen previews of them on a cable news channel, you’re either very lucky, or blissfully disconnected from [...]

Boys Night Out

Or rather, BNO, if you’re in the know, or are cool. If you worked at First Boston Corporation in the 80′s (now known as CSFB, or Credit Suisse First Boston), odds are you were somewhat cool. If you worked in the department that I did, while you were definitely a geek, you also had high [...]
