Giveaway – Madonna’s Rebel Heart Album

Madonna Rebel Heart

I still remember the first time I saw the video for “Borderline” on Friday Night videos in the early 1980’s. I was entranced both by the music and Madonna. That song is still very special to me. I would always want to find that video if I opened a lucky door. It was that good […]

When Ledcat and Sue Met Waxie Moon: A Review

Waxie Moon

This second movie is more plot driven, exploring […]

I thought her recent television special was sweet. I don’t really like this album cover, but I like the music. Clarkson is the singer we should support. […]

I was quite thrilled and honored to be one of two local twitter users invited to live-tweet an upcoming fundraiser for Bricolage as an extension of their “tweet seats” initiative. While many theater companies include social media in their media plans, few do so for fundraisers. This is an innovative approach to community engagement and […]
