Piskie
“Photographs show only reality. A painting shows the dream behind the reality.” I went to see Re-Mythed and enjoyed the performance so much that when they promoted another show called Piskie by one of the performers, Lucy Roslyn, I added it to my already very full schedule of shows.

5 Mistakes that Changed History
I would have stayed to hear Paul Coulter, history nerd extraordinaire, tell another ten stories beyond the five he did. 5 Mistakes that Changed History is absolutely marvelous.

Pony Cam & Parrot…

This is an amazing event and environment, buzzing with creative energy and interesting people. Went last year with a group of friends and we are going again. The composition of our group has changed, but…
Intimacy at Fringe
I am going to the Fringe festival in Edenborough Scotland in August. I am very excited about it. I have wanted to attend this event for many years and a variety of things have conspired to make it possible this year… friends who went last year and are going again, my new knee is installed…
