NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- The second-quarter market for TV advertising appears frozen, according to media buyers, who suggest marketers won't be willing part with their dollars until the very last minute.
The industry's been in a bit of a swoon as of late, with advertisers pulling back between 12% and 14% of their "holds," the second-quarter ad time they earmarked last May with dollars committed during the annual "upfront" sales session.
Now the question is how many of those dollars will come trickling back in the scatter market, where ad time is purchased on an as-needed basis, much closer to the time an ad airs.
"Broadcast nets are still dealing with Q2 cancellations -- I heard they are over 10%," said Marci Ryvicker, a media analyst with Wachovia Capital Markets. She noted that "the scatter market has really pulled back. Advertisers want to wait and see what happens to the economy before they commit, and there are a lot of other alternatives. The only network really bullish is CBS."
Buyers and TV networks bicker over price and ad time every year, but this impasse is a little different. With the economy still flailing, more advertisers are being very particular about how and when they spend their dollars. "A lot of people are looking to the second quarter as a sort of indicator" of how ad time will be sold "moving forward," said Andrew Donchin, director-media investment at Aegis Group's Carat.
That could mean waiting until April. At present, buyers and sellers are in a "stare down," one media buyer said. "Unless you have a good reason to buy second quarter today, there's no reason to buy second quarter today," because prices aren't going up, and marketers are increasing pressure to negotiate them down, the buyer said.
Meanwhile, networks are steadfastly refusing to roll back prices on ad time. That means advertisers could simply hold their money until the weeks in April, May or June when they really know what they need and how much they have to spend.
The situation augurs a particularly difficult third quarter ahead. Where marketers were supposed to indicate the amount of their upfront cancellations for the second quarter by January, negotiations were allowed to proceed into March. Typically, the window for third-quarter options cancellations opens in early April, but chances are networks will once again grant extensions in the hope clients will keep dollars with TV, not in their own coffers.

On a separate note, where did Orio get the ring from?Replies
- Sweet ToothOctober 7, 2013 at 6:00 PM
Woah, good eye. Maybe it's not a ring. It could be the "signature" of the manufacturer (the Magistrate? or someone else...) that they put on everyone they create. Like a royal birth mark or something.Delete
Or it's a really flat ring. I've been wrong before.
This is my bad.Delete
The ring's been in a few pages previous, but I keep forgetting about it.
(I've been editing those pages so it'll be consistent throughout Book 2)
The ring is actually a repair, necessary after her run in with Crick. (She damaged her knuckle in the fall.)
Unlike Bauble, an organic lifeform, Orio and her denizen brethren are incapable of cellular regrowth, so they have to buff scratches and replace limbs.
I'm kicking myself that I never addressed or hinted at this before in the background crowds.
Anyway, the metal is just a remnant of her past injury.
And a nicely decorative one at that...
- Sweet ToothOctober 7, 2013 at 5:55 PM
Giant mecha Orion confirmed. This implies giant monsters outside of Cobble. This completely explains why they had to build a huge wall.ReplyDeleteReplies
I should probably address this before any unnecessary parallels are drawn between HINGES and ATTACK ON TITAN...
No one who lives in Cobble now was involved in the building of the wall.
They do maintain it. But only because it would damage their pride to let anything go without repair.
It's possible that the very first Orderlies may have commissioned the wall, however this would have been a preventative measure, not a reactionary one. They simply would have been uncomfortable with the idea that any outside forces could randomly appear and disrupt their work.
As far as anyone in Cobble is concerned, this is only conjecture though.
All the original denizens have long since broken down.
And I'm sure all the paperwork is lost.
- AnonymousOctober 7, 2013 at 8:04 PM
So we have dolls that are driving what are essentially giant dolls.Delete
I'm afraid I couldn't possibly say...
- AnonymousOctober 8, 2013 at 10:55 AM
The story honestly reminded me more of Haibane Renmei then Attack on Titan... That'd be a weird shift...Delete
Anyhow looking forward to the mysteries.
On the subject of the repair, does this mean that Orio cannot bend that knuckle? It looks like the hinge is held flat by the repair, but I could be mistaken.ReplyDelete
And YES!!! It's that beautiful swirling script again, that was shown on the pocketwatch! note to self -- the full text is not shown so there is no way to know if it says Orio or Orion... oooOOOooo suspense!!!
Thank you for another fantastic page!! And thank you for all the fascinating extra information you included below it!Replies
The repair fills and covers the area of the joint that was damaged in her earlier scuffle. So she can still bend the joint. Th hinge holds the knuckle in place and that the knuckle moves around is on on the side of the finger (I almost never draw it). The repair is flat against the top of the knuckle, like a little shield, to prevent the earlier damage from worsening and reaching the finger's articulation.Delete
I may have to draw diagrams of this.
I feel like I'm tripping over myself trying to explain it...

Alice Walker on Democratic Womanism, Color Purple, Justice and the Election
November 2, 2012 2 Comments
I know this sounds like I live under a rock, but I have yet to read the Color Purple. I've heard of this book so many years ago and watched the movie, but never read the book. Nor can I say I have ever read literature by the great Alice Walker. Watched her lectures and read articles, yes. But books, no. After watching her interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now, I was reminded about how much I have missed out on. I am a huge fan now and am so much in awe of her, that I can't wait to read more of her work. Even Amy Goodman seems a bit giddy by interviewing Alice Walker. The full interview can be found here (It starts at 16:23 and it's well worth the watch, simply brilliant!) but I wanted to share the poem she read at the end of the interview. Just Amazing.
(More on Alice Walker, NPR does a section on Alice Walker's rediscovery of Zora Neale Hurston found here. Visit Alice Walker's Website and be inspired!)
Democratic Womanism A Poem by Alice Walker
You ask me why I smile
when you tell me you intend
in the coming national elections
to hold your nose
and vote for the lesser of two evils.
There are more than two evils out there,
is one reason I smile.
Another is that our old buddy Nostradamus
comes to mind, with his fearful
400 year old prophecy: that our world
and theirs too
(our "enemies" – lots of kids included there)
will end (by nuclear nakba or holocaust)
in our lifetime. Which makes the idea of elections
and the billions of dollars wasted on them
somewhat fatuous.
A Southerner of Color,
my people held the vote
very dear
while others, for centuries,
merely appeared to play
with it.
One thing I can assure
you of is this:
I will never betray such pure hearts
by voting for evil
even if it were microscopic
which, as you can see in any newscast
no matter the slant,
it is not.
I want something else;
a different system
One not seen
on this earth
for thousands of years. If ever.
Democratic Womanism.
Notice how this word has "man" right in the middle of it?
That's one reason I like it. He is right there, front and center. But he is surrounded.
I want to vote and work for a way of life
that honors the feminine;
a way that acknowledges
the theft of the wisdom
female and dark Mother leadership
might have provided our spaceship
all along.
I am not thinking
of a talking head
kind of gal:
happy to be mixing
it up
with the baddest
bad boys
on the planet
her eyes a slit
her mouth a zipper.
No, I am speaking of true
regime change.
Where women rise
to take their place
en masse
at the helm
of earth's frail and failing ship;
where each thousand years
of our silence
is examined
with regret,
and the cruel manner in which our values
of compassion and kindness
have been ridiculed
and suppressed
brought to bear on the disaster
of the present time.
The past must be examined closely, I believe, before we can leave
it there.
I am thinking of Democratic, and, perhaps
Socialist, Womanism.
For who else knows so deeply
how to share but Mothers
and Grandmothers? Big sisters
and Aunts?
To love
and adore
both female and male?
Not to mention those in between.
To work at keeping
the entire community
fed, educated
and safe?
Democratic womanism,
Democratic Socialist
would have as its icons
such fierce warriors
for good as
Vandana Shiva
Aung San Suu Kyi,
Wangari Maathai
Harriet Tubman
Yoko Ono
Frida Kahlo
Angela Davis
& Barbara Lee:
With new ones always rising, wherever you look.
You are also on this list, but it is so long (Isis would appear midway) that I must stop or be unable to finish the poem! So just know I've stood you in a circle that includes Marian Wright Edelman, Amy Goodman, Sojourner Truth, Gloria Steinem and Mary McLeod Bethune. John Brown, Frederick Douglass, John Lennon and Howard Zinn are there. Happy to be surrounded!
There is no system
There is no system
now in place
that can change
the disastrous course
the Earth is on.
Who can doubt this?
The male leaders
of Earth
appear to have abandoned
their very senses
though most appear
to live now
in their heads.
They murder humans and other
forests and rivers and mountains
every day
they are in office
and never seem
to notice it.
They eat and drink devastation.
Women of the world,
Women of the world,
Is this devastation Us?
Would we kill whole continents for oil
(or anything else)
rather than limit
the number of consumer offspring we produce
and learn how to make our own fire?
Democratic Womanism.
Democratic Socialist Womanism.
A system of governance
we can dream and imagine and build together. One that recognizes
at least six thousand years
of brutally enforced complicity
in the assassination
of Mother Earth, but foresees six thousand years
ahead of us when we will not submit.
What will we need? A hundred years
at least to plan: (five hundred will be handed us
when the planet is scared enough)
in which circles of women meet,
organize ourselves, and,
allied with men
brave enough to stand with women,
men brave enough to stand with women,
nurture our planet to a degree of health.
And without apology —-
(impossible to make
a bigger mess than has been made already) -—
devote ourselves, heedless of opposition,
to tirelessly serving and resuscitating Our Mother ship
and with gratitude
for Her care of us
worshipfully commit
to rehabilitating it.Advertisements

Easneye Wood
Round Barrow(s)
View all content for Easneye Wood
You know how it is... the lethargy, the call of the 'roll over in bed' too great to harbour any intention of going anywhere this morning? Tell me about it... so it's with some irony that I find myself heading up the M25 shortly after bound for.... Ware. An apparently rather fine bowl barrow within Easneye Wood, to the east of said town, is the objective. Yeah, about an hour's drive to visit a mound of earth, with no guarantee of an audience... there must be easier 'hobbies', surely? No, I think not.
The first pleasant surprise is the quality of the Hertfordshire countryside as I park up opposite Watersplace Farm on the B1004. I guess the clear blue sky, the catalyst for the visit, helps... but nevertheless... nice. The track, heading approx south east through the farm before crossing the River Ash, is wide and well maintained. Entering Easneye Wood it begins to climb, flanked on the right by a very deep drainage ditch. I head off uphill where this terminates, following a wire-mesh enclosure... one assumes there for the (poor) grouse... until a quite splendid bowl barrow emerges through the trees. Now there is some dispute as to the dating of this monument. EH is pretty confident it's Bronze Age in origin, no doubt in no small measure thanks to the cremation deposits mentioned in Rhiannon's post [refer English Heritage, National Monuments Record 638576].... deposits incidentally replaced within the mound following excavation. Hertfordshire HER, however, reckons it 'looks' Roman..... what chance of analysing the cremation using modern methods for a definitive answer. Can a 'contaminated' sample of organic material be of use? Dunno. Whatever, I must admit the round barrow certainly looks 'authentic' enough to me.
The monument's setting, beside a dirt track with piles of logs here and there, is disorder itself, yet curiously aesthetically pleasing to these eyes .... a working wood, albeit one apparently worked for a purpose many of us, myself included, will no doubt find abhorrent. But such is the countryside. More disturbingly, a 'christian college' lies below to the south-west, a place where adults still - even in the 21st Century - succumb to religious dogma unsupported by any evidence whatsoever. Not a problem if they were content to leave the rest of us alone and not invoke the political power trip.... but of course such people can not. But there you are. Many others will clearly disagree, as is their right. Just stay the hell away from me and allow me to believe my own senses.
The northern half of this substantial barrow is overgrown with brambles; however these are absent from the southern, affording a very fine perch from which to take in the vibe of the ancient forest.... the remnants of trees which once crowned the mound are still in evidence, one destroyed by Nature, the other by man. A couple of others 'hang in there', thriving upon the fertile soil. There are also the remains of a magpie, a pile of distinctive feathers all that is visible from the kill of a fox.... or perhaps bird of prey. Periodic sunlight streams through the bare winter canopy - or rather lack of it - and only the sound of headbanging woodpeckers, the odd shotgun, microlight, squirrel... etc... OK, it's not the quietest spot ... breaks the silence. No christian missionaries, however. Thank, er, goodness. Although, in retrospect, an encounter may well have proved 'interesting'. Or maybe not.
Time runs out and I return to the car, noticing 'Private - No Path' signs I (honestly) missed on the way up. Hey ho... note that these are private woods, then. Whatever. But what a great bowl barrow this is.

I'm sure they put those signs up after you've passed by you know. Had the same at Hailes Wood Camp the other week. I blame the wood elves.

Nice one, missionaries, woodpeckers & microlites - love it. I live 1/2 mile from there and some of us villagers are getting up a group to start discovering what went on and when but have to get past the aggressive owner/gamekeeper and...the wood elves!!
You did well at not 'noticing' him..
This and Widbury Hill you walked have been through some tough times by all accounts, not least the odd Saxon V Danish Battle as well as stuff that went before (I suppose Celt V Roman/Saxon too). Any way, in a few years time - subject to being shot at or preached to, we'll let you know what we find.

Being an Essex boy, just passing through - and very glad I made the effort to see your wonderful county - and more than happy to see Easneye is in proper - that is, local - hands.
Suggest an overt approach armed with (what we here deem to be) the moral truth, video any shotgun-related 'tomfoolery' and dial 999 in such an event. Play them at their own game if they refuse to be decent human beings. Write to the local papers!! What have they got to hide?

Bursledon was for many years known for its ship building predominately for the Royal Navy and including Henry VIII's fleet. The Elephant Boatyard still continues this tradition and specialises in the refurbishment, maintenance and custom builds of wooden sailing and motor boats, the yard and adjacent public house 'The Jolly Sailor' that are in the heart of the old village and located on the banks of the Hamble River, were featured in the 1980's BBC television series ' Howards Way'. When the Royal Navy moved their ship building yards to Warsash, Bursledon became more known for its agricultural production, although the marine industry and water recreational pursuits such as sailing and powerboating are still very much associated with the area. There is also the annual Bursledon Regatta, run and hosted by many locals and businesses this features sailing and rowing races, BBQ's and evening meals, public bars and culminates in a fireworks display.
Bursledon windmill is a prominent landmark, the original mill was built in 1776 and replaced by the existing in 1814, where the internal mechanics were retained. The building fell in to a state of disrepair having been unused since the 1880's and from the late 1970's to early 1990's was refurbished. The building has recently undergone further refurbishment including the replacement of both the wooden lattices that make up its sails and the wind shaft, this was completed in November 2014.

VICTORVILLE � Two weeks after West Coast College on Seventh Street officially closed its doors, some students still have not received the tuition refunds they were promised.
"I'm still in shock," said Tasha Gregoire, 27, a West Coast College dental assistant student who paid $1,000 cash for her first three months of tuition. "I'm freaking out because I was promised this money on the 15th (of December), and now it's Christmas."
West Coast College, which operated its main campus on Seventh Street in Victorville for the past 11 years, closed Dec. 11 because of financial hardships exacerbated by tighter student loan criteria, said Tasha Bell, who is assisting the college with the closure.
Bell said that four students finished their courses entirely, while the other 30 students from the Victorville and Ontario campuses will be contacted individually about their refunds and possible transfers to another institution.
But several students say they have yet to be contacted about their lost funds and credits.
Despite several weeks of frequent calls and e-mail, West Coast College student Krishna Thomas, 36, of Hesperia has only heard from the college one time to pick up her transcripts since she was informed of its closing in early November, she said.
"I'm just really worried because I have that loan out, and I don't think it's fair that I'm going to have to pay it off if I don't even get anything out of it," said Thomas, who took out a $20,000 loan for the school's dental assistant program.
Gregoire said she finally heard from the college last week. Gregoire said she talked to Bell, who told Gregoire she was turning over student records to an attorney's office for review and that students should be receiving refunds as the records are processed.
Both Gregoire and Thomas have enrolled in Everest College campus in San Bernardino, where they will have to start classes from scratch, they said.
Bell said she has no reason to believe the students will not receive their refunds and hopes to contact every student within the week.
But there is no oversight body to ensure that happens.
West Coast College formerly was granted institutional approval from the state Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, but that body was dissolved in July 2007, along with the state law for occupational instruction by private postsecondary institutions, said Russ Heimerich, spokesman for the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
"Because we don't have a bureau anymore, we have no way of tracking schools," Heimerich said. "Our role has been pretty much unofficial."

Every parents' worst nightmare just happened in California. A young teenager, confident, responsible and well-educated about her food allergies took a bite of a typically safe snack that happened to be made this time with peanut butter. She took every precaution; she didn't even swallow it. Her parents were there. Her dad, a doctor, administered a usually life-saving dose of epinepherine — three times. And, despite the arrival of the ambulance, she suffered cardiac arrest and died. My heart breaks for the Giorgi family. And, this story haunts not only me, but everyone touched by food allergies.
The widespread effects of food allergies among children has been gaining national attention these days. Contributing to that conversation is the Discovery Channel who, in partnership with FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education), produced a documentary about food allergies to air on the Discovery Channel on September 7th.
Narrated by Steve Carell, this educational program features interviews with the top allergists advancing the understanding of food allergies and those revolutionizing its treatment. It reviews legislative efforts to protect Americans living with food allergies. The documentary also interviews families who live with food allergies and those who are working to raise awareness about it. My family was privileged to be among them.
The discussion surrounding food allergies is steadily growing, as evidenced not only by the Discovery Channel documentary but also by the New York Times Magazine article ("The Allergy Buster", March 7, 2013) about the amazing work of allergists across the country and by Dr. Kari Nadeau in particular. As most of us are well aware, the rate of food allergies is on the rise (over 50 percent in the last 20 years alone) as is the rate of hospitalization for food allergic reactions. And, although rare and a fact all parents would like to ignore, the risks of fatality from this devastating diagnosis are real.
In my interview during the documentary, it was important for me to share our collective perspective as parents:
- Food allergies are not the same as food preference – food allergies can be deadly – a fact that shakes us to our core;
- Parenting a child with food allergies requires exhaustive vigilance to keep kids both physically safe and psychologically healthy;
- We are committed to educating those people who don't understand food allergies and eternally grateful to those who do.
My son, who is 8 1/2 lent a food allergic child's point of view:
- Living with food allergies isn't easy and can even be downright difficult;
- Having food allergies puts him in awkward social situations frequently that he must sometimes navigate without adults: at school, he eats at a separate peanut-free table for children but must still remain careful of their tree nuts and dairy items. He brings his own cup cakes to birthday parties, having to refuse even the BEST looking birthday cake. He cannot share in foods offered by well-meaning parents of his friends, which can exclude him from surprise treats at school, celebrations and holidays.
- It can bring about a constant sense of concern. In his own words to his grandparents, my son recently said, "The problem with being a kid with food allergies is that I can't be careful [about food] only 70% of the time. I need to be careful 100% of the time. "
I know you may have heard the same from your children and I know we all wish it wasn't our child's responsibility to feel this way.
This underscores my personal philosophy that in order to raise confident kids, we – the parents, teachers, siblings, grandparents, camp counselors, chefs – need to approach food and food allergies in a new and healthy way. I am as committed as ever to helping simplify the lives of families managing food allergies in the hopes of reducing some of the stress surrounding food. And, I will continue to lend my voice to further the understanding of food allergies.
Kudos to the Discovery Channel for recognizing the significance of this issue and the way in which the effects of food allergies are touching the lives of so many and kudos to FARE, Mylan Specialty L.P. and the Discovery Channel for bringing this to our collective attention.
The documentary will begin its run on the Discovery Channel on Saturday, September 7th, 2013 at 8am and again on September 21st at 8am. The program will also be available to download and for use by schools nationwide through Discovery Education.

No mumbo-jumbo for Green Bay Packers' Zombo
Nov 26, 2010 ~ by Gary D'Amato, Journal Sentinel
~Green Bay — You check out Frank Zombo's bio and look up to see him starting at right outside linebacker for the Green Bay Packers and you wonder:
How in the world did the dots ever get connected?
One year ago, he was a 270-pound defensive end at Central Michigan. The NFL draft came and went without Zombo's name being called and he signed as a rookie free agent with the Packers.
Told he'd be converted to linebacker, he lost 20 pounds and reported to Green Bay to try to make the team at a position he'd never played in high school or college. Then he suffered a badly sprained ankle in August.
How was this guy going to make the roster?
"Obviously, I knew I had my work cut out for me," Zombo said. "Coming into it, all I knew was that I didn't want to have any regrets if I didn't make it. I knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I was going to give it everything I had no matter what."
A funny thing happened on the way to the practice squad.
Injuries swept through the Packers' linebackers like a brush fire in the Hollywood hills, and suddenly Zombo was the last man standing. There was nobody else to play right outside linebacker. He was it.
Zombo made his first start in Week 3 against the Chicago Bears, replacing the injured Brad Jones. After Jones (shoulder) went on injured reserve Oct. 27, the position was Zombo's for good.
Linebackers coach Kevin Greene worked to get Zombo up to speed, but for the most part it's been baptism by fire. The 23-year-old Zombo has had to learn a new position on the fly against the likes of Matt Forte, Donovan McNabb, Adrian Peterson and Brett Favre.
How is the job not too big for him?
"It's not too big for him because he wants it," Greene said. "I mean, he has a hunger for it. It's a passion for him. He's a walk-on in the NFL. That's what he is. But he's got the right mind-set. He's got the right attitude. He's willing to learn and to listen and try to implement the things that we're teaching. When he does, he sees it works for him."
The 6-foot-3 Zombo is listed at 254 pounds but said he weighed 248. He played four years with his hand down at Central Michigan and had 25½ sacks, but he's a versatile athlete who was an all-state wide receiver at Stevenson High School in Sterling Heights, Mich.
In his final home game at Central Michigan, he intercepted a pass and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown against Northern Illinois.
"A pick-six in my last game," he said. "That was pretty cool."
Zombo ranks sixth on the Packers with 45 tackles, including eight against the Minnesota Vikings last week, and has forced a fumble.
"He is doing really, really well," Greene said. "He set a real hard edge against a Pro Bowl player in (Bryant) McKinnie. He made a couple of really nice tackles. He's playing well. He's a good kid. He's very self-conscious about how he plays. He wants to learn and get better and it shows."
Zombo's pass-rushing skills help him at linebacker. He's strong enough to walk tackles back into the quarterback and has two sacks.
"Everybody measures the sacks and that type of thing, but you need people that know how to rush, where they just aren't flying up the field," said defensive coordinator Dom Capers. "If you put on the tape you'll see a couple times (Sunday) that he had the tackle right back into Brett's lap."
Of course, Zombo has made his share of mistakes, too. On Sunday, he missed an open-field tackle on Vikings running back Toby Gerhart and a short pass in the flat ruptured into a 19-yard gain.
"There are some fundamentals and technique things that we can improve on," Greene said. "He'll learn that. This is a guy who had his hand in the dirt for most of his college career and now he's a two-point drop linebacker."
Fortunately, Zombo is a fast learner. Later in the Vikings game, Favre threw a pass in the left flat to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe and Zombo roared up and made the open-field tackle for no gain.
"Zombo is a conscientious guy and he wants to do everything right," Capers said. "It really bothers him if he makes a mistake. Because of that attitude, he normally doesn't make the same mistake twice. He's not afraid to ask questions. He's made an awful lot of improvement."
Like Zombo, Packers inside linebacker Desmond Bishop got his chance to play because of injuries. Now a starter alongside Zombo, Bishop said the two had a lot in common, starting with their passion for the game.
"I think the essence of football is really simple," Bishop said. "If you love to play and you're willing to put in the work, it can be simple. At the end of the day, football is football. See the ball, hit the ball, tackle the ball. Rush the quarterback. Read the quarterback.
"Whether you're doing it from a three-point stance or two-point stance or whatever, football is football."
Zombo has a deep appreciation for the Packers organization and its storied tradition. He's fallen in love with Green Bay and said he's converted most of Sterling Heights – a suburb of Detroit – into Packers fans.
"I'm so glad I'm here," he said. "I love the Green Bay Packers. I love Green Bay and the area. I like it that there's no traffic. I can go 15 minutes north of here and go hunting.
"I know I can play this game for a long time and hopefully it's in Green Bay because I love it here so much. I couldn't ask for a better situation."
It's worked out well for the Packers, too.

"The Lower East Side Queen of Obscene"
...and Short Notice
+ Ukuleles Are Fun mp3
I have a few friends who often give me guff about always inviting them to shows at the last minute. "Why can't you give me a few days notice?", they ask. Well, it's because a few days ago, I was telling someone else about some other thing at the last minute, obviously. The Village Voice once called me the "Lower East Side Queen of Obscene" but what they meant to call me was the "Lower East Side Queen of Obscene and Short Notice". Ba-dump bump.
That being said, TONIGHT I am doing a few shows that I wanted to talk about. One is called "Forbidden Kiss" and it's a sex themed show at a lovely little theater in midtown. A nice woman runs it, it's kind of a "mom and pop" theater, but without the pop. She's a very interesting lady and the theater is quite nice. If you like to see how ambitious some people can be, come check out this theater, and of course, this show, tonight at 8 PM.
All info is in my calendar, I'll put it again here, now:
Saturday, Sept. 10
Forbidden Kiss
"A theatrical erotica show" aka
a naughty show about naughty stuff
Stage Left Studio
214 W. 30th St. 6 Fl.
I'm also really excited to be part of this very interesting event called the "Manhattan Wonder Walk" that is a 14 hour long walk around the city of NY. I'll be surprising the walking crowd around 11 PM tonight somewhere downtown with a spontaneous performance. You can find more information about that here:
