So this is my third time around with the Broadway posts, and since my last Broadway review, I’ve seen 3 more shows, 2 in the last week!. Again, none of which I paid for at full price! It is the only way to go! As an update, out of the 3 shows I reviewed last … Continue reading »
A year ago today, my sweet friend Kerry dropped me off at the Indianapolis airport with some hugs and I was off to New York. I arrived completely turned around and completely exhausted. I can’t believe how much has changed since that day. Grant it, I’m still often turned around and almost always exhausted, but … Continue reading »

New York is not about staying stagnant. New York is about chasing dreams. This sounds incredibly cliche and lame. But since moving to New York, it has been my dream to work here: Lincoln Center. The mecca for performance. A celebration of the arts in the middle of the city. Every time I walked onto … Continue reading »

First, I apologize for the crappy photos. Pictures at dusk are not fun/easy to take. Last Friday I got to experience one of those “New York things” that I had been wanting to experience since I moved here- an outdoor movie. Outdoor movies around New York City are a HUGE thing. Parks, rooftops, parking lots, … Continue reading »
This weekend was a busy one, but thank goodness life cleared off my schedule for a short time on Saturday to meet up with this wonderful lady. I love visitors- I feel lucky that I live in a place that people want to visit, but I can’t tell you how amazingly wonderful it was to … Continue reading »

Sometimes, being in events means you get to go to events. Especially in the summertime when everyone is dead slow and people want to generate some possible new events and clients to add to the calendar, venues will host industry events. And that was just the case on Tuesday night when me and the team … Continue reading »
This past Saturday, prior to being assaulted on the subway platform, I went to one of the coolest things I’ve seen New York offer thus far. The MOMA PS1 Warm-Up. Pretty much, it is a big outdoor party at MOMA’s PS1 in Long Island City, Queens where a variety of experimental bands and DJs perform … Continue reading »

Apologies for the jarring title but last night I got minorly assaulted. Minorly being the key word. But I learned some things from my first-hand experience that seem to be pretty straight forward tips for the cruddy situation. I was transferring trains around 9PM in Times Square. When going though the tunnel I noticed the … Continue reading »
