Kendall followed up with an e-mail including a long description of the show we are working on as well as this catchy short version: With their new show Clown Axioms, Kendall Cornell and Clowns Ex Machina take a cold, hard clown-look at gory fairy tales and gothic romance – and the thrilling terrors within. Through a series of [...]

Our home is not large.  Rain is pouring outside.   My daughter has a friend over and she has decided she would like to play in the front living-dining-media-play-room part of the apartment.  So I am relegated to the back bedroom half of the apartment which is fine with me.  I’m listening NPR and writing [...]

I have so much faith in Obama that I think the whole Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrest fiasco will be cleared up when the police officer, the professor and the President of the United States have a beer together at the White House.  There is no such hope for Shem Walker, a man I never [...]

Tonight The Husband, My Kid and I went together to see the New York Goofs play at the Flea Theatre in Tribeca.  It was a fun show and I have lots of thoughts in my head after seeing clowns I know tonight and Lauren’s show last night.  Both nights, seeing people and performances or types [...]

I suppose the grandparents want to know how the little princess spent her birthday.  And incidentally she loves what you sent! It is so easy to produce an extravagant birthday in New York City.  There was one scheduled event requiring the watching of clocks and hoping the trains ran on time.  We attended a matinee [...]
