I posted a couple of weeks ago with some reviews of the production of "Urinetown: The Musical" running in Chicago. It continues to receive rave reviews from the Chicago area press, and I've kept that blog post up-to-date with all of the reviews I know about. If you know of any others that are available...

I know this will be extremely short lived, but I experience this phenomenon so rarely that I felt compelled to share its beauty with the world:

I’m an honest person. I value truth, sincerity, and candor. I appreciate people who are honest with me and honest with others. And I’m pretty sure that most people in this world feel the same way. Why is it, then, that it’s considered acceptable by the masses for all of that to be thrown out the window...

The Chicago production of the musical "Urinetown" is a hit! Just check out some of these reviews: Chicago Sun-Times "Not only does the show look fabulous in the intimate, brick-walled, 300-seat confines of the Mercury, but it features a hugely talented cast possessed of amphetaminelike energy and...

Urinetown, the Tony-Award winning musical comedy created by Chicago's Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, will begin its first resident commercial Chicago run March 15 toward an opening of March 26 at The Mercury Theater. For anyone living in or near Chicago and looking to see a great show, I'd highly recommend...

For anyone living or vacationing near Lake Michigan this summer and looking to see a great show, Tamara is there performing in the first regional production of Urinetown, playing for the next several weeks at Mason Street Warehouse in Saugatuck.

I try to keep this blog about Microsoft, MSDN Magazine, and .NET (when I remember to post to it at all) , however every once in a while I have something personal to share. John Keefe , my college roommate and best friend, decided to pursue acting professionally just over a year ago. Since then he...

Go Sox !!!

Tamara spent a day in Long Island a month or so ago filming a music video for a group called Huckapoo. They just put the video up on their web site. She appears a handful of times... see if you can spot her. :)

Some good college friends of mine have started a cool new company, With Honors , that specializes in online essay editing. Check it out !

Found this on the web this morning... it's almost scary how true this really is. I almost never ask a question these days before first doing a well-crafted google search or two.

I had an exciting morning today... I ordered a DVD. Why is that noteworthy? Because when I watch the DVD I'm going to be able to see myself. Mona Lisa Smile is being released to DVD on March 9th, and I had the fortunate experience of being a part of it. Four days on set culminating in less than 10 seconds...

I started this blog a year ago with very good intentions. But somehow I got sidetracked and I haven't been back since. It's too late for a New Year's resolution, so I'm making a March resolution... starting next week, I'm going to make it a point to post at least weekly, but hopefully more frequently...

Amazing. After only a week in blogspace, the results from searching for myself in Google have completely changed.  Not that I search for myself often enough to have noticed ;)

Tamara's current production, The Pirates of Penzance , just got a fabulous review: http://www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/penzance.htm . For anyone in or around NYC, I highly recommend you see it... you won't be disappointed. ADDRESS 1010 Park Avenue N ew York, NY 1002 8 OPENED May 3, 2003...

So a bunch of friends and coworkers have been at me for quite some time now to start a "blog". At first I was sure they were all referring to something from a Star Wars or Star Trek episode, but of course the concept was explained to me and it became apparent to me what an amazing waste of time (for...
