The Parade Haters Club

by Cosmic Charlie

Parade season is in full swing. The crowds have already started forming for the Grand Floral Parade, which engulfs downtown for the next couple of days. However, not everyone “loves a parade,” and one of the more vocal detractors is our own Wizardboots.

In fact, last weeks Haters Ball, loosely disguised as [...]

SLL: Once Upon a Storybook Site

by CamiKaos

Once upon a time there lived a girl with very dark hair, blue eyes, tattoos and a snarky personality who loved boots more than almost anything.  But if there was one thing the girl loved more than her beautiful boots it was her podcast… did I mention she had a podcast? One day, a Friday [...]

If an Opera can RAWK, Rigoletto did it. That is the best way I can describe my experience tonight. The singing and the costumes and the performances were spot on. Such a tragic story.
Rigoletto, having been cursed by the old man (whom I understand was acted by a gentleman [...]

Intermission at Rigoletto

by Dieselboi

The first act just finished and we’re madly blogging. For my first opera, I’m stunned. Wow! These performers are true to their trade. They don’t use mics and can project their voice to the far reaches of the auditorium. The story goes a little like this: Rigoletto is a [...]

March of the… Lebowskis?

by Cosmic Charlie

So, got plans this Friday? Wanna hang out with some Caucasians?
Before you have visions of a skinhead revival doing a jackboot-dance on your head, let me clarify. Caucasians, aka White Russians, are the drink of choice of Jeff “the Dude” Lebowski. One part Kahlua, two parts vodka and a splash of half & half. Yum! [...]
