50th Wedding Anniversary

This is a photo of my parents on their wedding day on Dec. 22, 1957.

I printed this photo on 100% cotton archival unbleached paper which accompanied a 5 page golden wedding anniversary invitation laced in gold traditional fonts designed on my Mac and printed through my Canon Pixma MP210 (developed on Gwyn's HP 2100 and originally tested on Julia's dinasaur HP). Wrapped it all up in golden leafed rice paper, with trimmings cut with an exacto knife (which I had to prove I was at least 21 years old in order to purchase it.....score!), even tailored the trim with my secret cutting technique so that each formal dressing was original to its future owner, and then sealed it with an embossed "M" golden mongram. Packaged this into another larger envelope, lined in gold metalics, and was hand addressed by me to each recipient in a danelian/caligraphy style that I first learned in elementary school and have been developing slowly ever since. Put a 58 cent heart stamp on it and snail mailed it off somewhere in the country by dropping it all off in a blue box at the post office at the corner.

Took me a good 10 days to figure out what exactly I was doing and complete since all the major invitation companies (Papyrus, Kate's and Arthur's) shot down most of the ideas I had because they couldn't complete my order in any less than 2 weeks, possibly 3. By the time I gathered all the politcally correct paper (or should I say "sheets") and necessary cutting tools that I was old enough to buy (the sales people made my day and gave me a great idea for a story!), I'm hoping my parents will love the wedding anniversary invitation I created for them. They should have received it today at their Floridian residence.

Bowery Poetry Club

Bowery Poetry Club Open Mic hosted on the first Sunday of every month by John Oyzon. Josh Kobak and his friends and Some Friends of Mine played another delightful evening.

Margaret Cho's show

Ryan Heffington, Jon and Gwyn's friend from LA, had been peforming in her show while it was on 42nd Street.

Daryl Roth Theater now

Its a very beautiful building. Funny to think I spend more time here than at my home.

Daryl Roth Theater without the banners...

Jeslyn in Fuerzabruta

Jeslyn Kelly, my friend and co-founder of 2nd Species, will be in Fuerzabruta for the next six weeks. This is us in the dressing room before her premiere in the pieces Cortinas and Corridor Finale. She's one fierce chica!!!

Friends since birth

That's Gwyn, Rachel and Ramona. They're not sisters, but have known each other since birth. Pretty cool. We're celebrating Ramona's birthday at one of our favs, Galaxy in Union Square.

My first snow fall on Ludlow

My friend called me this morning with a super happy chipper voice, "Do you have a window in your bedroom?"
I said in my low groggy voice, "I do have a window in my bedroom."
"Go look outside!"

It was snowing. In fact it is snowing right now. All I can think about is its going to be cold!

After talking throughout the day with a few people about the snow, seems like I'm the only one in my crew that didn't welcome change. ARGH.
