It's a cloudy Sunday afternoon. Rob and I decided to get out of the house for a little while. Due to the economic recession, our pocket book is bare. So, today, we decided to head up to the Evanston Public Library. It's a great way to get out of the house. We got to Evanston specifically because we can drive and park for free. They have a great jazz and original cast album section. (As I type this, I am listening to the Grammy winning cd "Loverly" by Cassandra Wilson.
Cassandra Wilson is amazing. I was lucky enough to meet her a few years ago in Minneapolis. She was performing with Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company at the Walker. If I remember correctly, it was a performance to celebrate/honor the tragedy of Sept 11. The Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company is one of the single most influential groups for me personally. The company has a unique ability to tell story and the human experience. LOVE LOVE LOVE. They are performing in Chicago at Ravinia on Sept 17, 2009 - here is a promotional video.
And another piece because:
They are truly AMAZING!! So, be sure to check them out!
I have been working on "The Straight Girl's Guide to Dating: Written by a Gay Man" for the last week. Due May 1, 2009, I have a quick turnaround time for this project. Rather than over think this project, I want just get it finished and have a ball! So the outline it almost finished, and the prologue is finished. All the design elements are finished. So it's just a matter of writing.
Well, that's all for this sunday afternoon. Let me know what you think of the Bill T Jones clips. And one more clip for the road. (This is one of my favorites)
