The last Hypnogaja show of the year, and we caught it ~ for FREE!  The band on Facebook will send out invites and then if you RSVP or print out the invite, you get into the venue for free.  Very nice, although I would pay to see this band.  They are a rock band that [...]

I LOVE Lord of the Rings.  I do.  And I love The Hobbit
which I am patiently waiting for.  (Side note, I still own The Hobbit on VHS).
I read The Lord of the Rings
as a child and re-read them as an adult.  When I worked in a group home for boys, I read it to them. [...]

I saw Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead... and missed Gary Oldman and Tim Roth

My favorite movie of all times is
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1990) ~ the screenplay was done by Tom Stoppard, the same man who wrote the play by the same name (first staged in 1966). The movie stars Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Richard Dreyfuss and Joanna Roth. I actually still have a VHS [...]

These pix and tix are from my trip to Disneyland in 1997 ~ which is funny to me now (12 years later) because I now live so close.  I had never been to Disneyland as a child, but got to go as an adult (I was 23 or so).  The cool part was that my [...]

I saw Long Kiss Goodnight... and loved the banter ~

Not everybody keeps movie tix, not every movie would be worth it anyway, but I used to keep my movie tix to keep in my photo albums. It is fun to look back at pictures to myself, my friends, where I used to live ~ and see the movies I was seeing at the [...]

I saw Reverend Jesse Jackson... and I am somebody ~

I love Jesse Jackson ~ he is an amazing speaker and an inspiration to me.  He has a way of bringing his history into the room, keep you focused on the here and now and motivate you to do more in the future.  ”I am somebody” he had the crowd saying.  ”I am somebody”.  In [...]

I had never heard of Calobo before this show.  I was in Portland going to Grad School and had some great friends that also lived there that I knew from Michigan where I grew up.  They invited me to see Calobo and to hang out for the day.  The Rose Garden is a beautiful outside amphitheater [...]

Ahhhhh….  this was an amazing show, with opening artist, Paula Cole, who had released the album “Harbinger” (1994) ~ Later became more well known for the single “Where have all the cowboys gone” on her next album “This Fire“.  She was a cutie with short hair, black clothes and black boots.  At the time I [...]
