Asking for a friend. Daylight Savings Time is dumb. Let it be light longer in the evening. It's what everyone wants, and all the stories I've read about why we even have DST...  are dumb. I know, I know... there are five or six of you out there that get up early and...

We've just started this journey with AliƧin into the weird, wild, and wacky world of fulldomes and planetariums, and I gotta tell ya... the response has been amazing! All we've really done so far is put a little listing up on FDDB.org, the website for all things...

That's a quote from "The Emperor's New Groove," one of the absolute best, and the most under appreciated of all the fine animated features made by the talented men and women at Disney. Stream it. Rent it. Buy it. Money back guarantee you'll love it.  Eartha Kitt is...

And you can too! With a Ouija board, you ask?  Or perhaps some mystical seance with a mysterious gypsy woman. Or maybe some musical-themed tarot cards. Well, yeah... it's sort of all these things and more in our new immersive music experience... Fate Still Rests. We...

The answer is "not many." The Graceland Chapel (https://gracelandchapel.com/) is not all that big. It's a sweet little place originally built in 1927 right next to the "Hotel Autel" which boasted "electric heat" on the neon sign out front. I don't think anyone cared...

Now, you know that has to be true, cuz if I wanted to sensationalize it with a clickbait worthy headline I would have written, "Evil robot wreaks havoc in Hollywood Hills" or "Killer robot snarls LA traffic while destroying iconic Capitol Records Building." Something...

How can I miss you if you won't go away? Yep, after a week or so of sitting in front of the computer in the same sweatpants, this is how Victoria lets me know that it's time for me to go outside and air out a bit, or at least find a fresh pair of sweatpants and vacuum...

We went to the big Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall last week. Victoria had never been and I was pretty sure it was probably a little different from when I saw it in 1964 with my Mom and sister. Now, The Rockettes being aliens, would make an awesome Christmas...

One of the great things about living in New York is you hear and see stuff walking around The City. Crazy stuff. Intimate stuff. More crazy stuff. Pro tip, when you visit New York City, pay attention to what you talk about on the street cause... we’re all listening,...

I do say it's my birthday. And it is. Today is my actual birthday. Well the actual birthday was 68 years ago, but who the hell can even count that high, let alone remember the fireworks display and three days of drunken partying that took place in Lexington, Kentucky?...

It's that time of year. Yep, it's officially "Neither Here Nor There." That time of year when it's just sad if you still have your Halloween decorations up, and those Thanksgiving leftovers are getting dangerously old, and... it's just way too early to open your...

So... we all know the Pilgrims sailed across the ocean blue on a ship called The Mayflower, laden with cans of cranberry sauce and that's why we have Thanksgiving. What you may not know is that there was another boat on that epic voyage. Yep, a ship called The...

So, it's way too freaking cold today, and I'm dragging our beat up little cart behind me on my way to Trader Joe's. Yep, show business is glamorous. I crossed Third at 53rd Street and about 50 steps in, I stopped. Not because someone was admiring my new pork pie hat...

Well, aren't we being "Mr. I'm-So-Deep-And-Philosophical" this week, you say? And even if you didn't say it, just go with me cuz otherwise I got nothing to write about this week. I saw "What Does Happily Ever After Look Like?" on a bus, or in the men's room at The...

I know. You got up extra early this morning. Made your bed. Had a hearty breakfast and, so as not to burn yourself again, carefully carried your second cup of steaming hot coffee to your computer and... waited. It was only 6:30am EDT after all, and although you knew...

FDUK. Cardiff. Opening for Pink Floyd. Good times. FDUK was kind of like going to summer camp, if summer camp took place in the cold and damp of drizzly October with lots of beer and darts and crazy fun people who you had lots of deep conversations with, but never...

We came. We saw. We FDUKed. Yep... and an amazing FDUK it was. I promise I'm eventually going to stop with the terrible double entendre, but how often do you get this kind of opportunity? Just know that I will keep looking for places to slip it in as we go along (that...

Today's little piece of email sunshine comes to you from Wales. More specifically "The Queen's Vaults," a charming little pub on a charming little street in "The Diff" which is how we insiders refer to "Cardiff."  Now, before your mind fills with images of Hemingway...

No, that's not a secret message for you to decipher with your Super Secret Decoder Ring. Although it could be 'cuz we are getting those, because I figure if we're gonna have a super secret club house and a super secret weekly email, we should have our own Super Secret...

Don't 'cha just love September? It's filled to the brim with all my favorite holidays. National Pepperoni Pizza Day, National Beer Lovers Day, National Pot Pie Day, National Coffee Day (mmm coffee) and my most favorite of all National Make Your Bed Day. Now, I do not...
