(Community Matters) They are snow white, I thought they might be Estonians, but no, English (just off an English winter I suppose).  Action Hero artists James Stenhouse & Gemma Paitin (the “cowboy” and the “whore”) nearly didn’t make it to Austin, caught up in the Iceland volcano flight interruptions.  And, though it cost one day’s delay in their performance, we’re sure glad they persevered – engaging, smart vignettes of scenes in the glorious, historical Victory Bar & Grill setting

Intimate crowd of friends including FuseBox founder/artistic director Ron Berry, Marcy Hoen, Sobie & Dean Partos, Steve Moore and Hank Cathey

Quick jaunt to Kirk Lynn’s Blender Love – very interesting. The payoff is as a voyeur of participants’ eagerness to reveal themselves.

David Barlow, Phil Soltanoff and the cast demonstrate lots of theater, voice and A/V technology in LA Party’s performance.  David’s monologue was especially engaging.  Enjoyed the entire piece performed at Ballet Austin’s Austin Ventures Stage and caught up with Margo Weisz, Gregory Brooks (celebrating a birthday) and Michael Mitchell.

Steven didn’t make it with me to the after party at US Art Authority but Michael did.  I just missed Church of the Friendly Ghost & Rampant Arts.

Gosh, I never even blogged about Julie Thornton’s opening party Thursday night did I?  Just as well, too incriminating . . .(well, not really until after most of us left . . tons in attendance including Amy & Kirk Rudy, Suzanne Deal Booth, John Thornton, Kate Hersh, Erin Driscoll, Stephen Mills & Brent Hasty, Michael Barnes, Michael Mitchell, Robert Torian, Milinda Mitchell, Amanda Chiampi, Marcy & Bijoy, on and on . . )

Tonight sure to be a wild night at US Art Authority: Monofonus Press Night,Venison Whirled @ 10pm, MVSCLZ @ midnight, and DJ set @ 12:45 Soft Dealer @ 11pm. (We were planning to catch Gravel Works prior, now One Hundred Black Women, One Hundred Actions)

(Community Matters) I’m not sure why this song has always made me so happy. First, Pres Obama acknowledging Ms. Warwick, then the her . . . .
