Hi everyone,

Were you at this concert last night?  I sincerely hope you were because I have to say... and I hope this isn't unfair of me because we do bring a lot of really fantastic entertainment to the Rose... but this was far and away my favourite concert this year!  WOW, the Art of Time Ensemble are doing something really great.  The arrangments are beyond fresh.  I particularly loved the moment in "A singer must die" when the instruments break into on all these crazy crunchy chords and I felt my insides spinning with excitement.... in a word - thrilling.  Not only are the arrangments awesome but overall I thought Steven Page's song selection was inspired.  Quirky, fascinating, and fantastic!  If you missed it at the Rose, they are still touring and I have to highly recommend that you go find them somewhere, anywhere.  If you were there too please send me your thoughts, I do hope you loved it as much as I did.  Here I am with Andrew Burashko (Artistic Director of Art of Time Ensemble) and Steven Page after the show.

Wow, what a great night!

Hope to see you at the Rose soon.  The touring Broadway production of The Wedding Singer is this weekend... sure to be a hoot!  Oh and ladies, or guys if you're feeling particularly brave lol, be sure to come wearing your worst bridesmaid dress! Prizes to be had... and who doesn't love to win prizes!

Talk soon,
Genny

Hey everyone,

This is a few days delayed in getting up but I wanted to share some photos with you from the Black Pack S.E.L.L.O.U.T. Comedy Tour post-show event at Jake's Boathouse last week.  What a funny bunch of guys.  I mean, I know, they're all comedians so what else did you expect right?

But what I loved, even more than their on stage humour was how intriguingly individual they each are in their style and essence.  Does it get any different than this?  Check out what they each ordered at the party... Billy D. Washington... a glass of pinot.  Vince ... grey goose on the rocks.  Louis Johnson... rum & coke... and my personal favourite, B.T...a strawberry margherita!  Come on, can you guess which one is B.T. below??

Well I'm sorry if you missed it - it was a night worth dragging yourself off the couch for!  If you want to see more of these guys, they've got some great videos available on their myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/blackpack.  Enjoy ;)

See you soon at the Rose!
Genny
