Last weekend I was invited to attend a matinee performance of “Sweeney Todd,” performed by the Cygnet Theatre. No, Johnny Depp was not featured in this version, but the amazing cast was mind-blowingly wonderful, making up for the fact that my favorite actor was not starring. For those not familiar with the story of Sweeney […]

Jason Voorhees Day
Today marks the first day of fall, which means that we are exactly 38 days away from my favorite holiday, Halloween.

Avedon is best known for his black and white photographic portraits that feature prominent politicians and members of the media. The event last night was […]
5 To Try: Karaoke Bars
