Heidi Huber started her career with the sink or swim theory. Luckily she knows the freestyle which has taken her from the Chicago stage to behind the scenes in Los Angeles where she currently continues to tap as The Whole 9’s Chief of Everything Else.
TW9 & Peace Project Founder Lisa Schultz reports live from Sierra Leone and her newest blog, Sierra Leone Needs a New Set of Curtains is really worth your time. Wow, the photo alone is worth a thousand words.
Where have your accommodations been the worst and what did you do about it?
Today is like Christmas for my husband and me. We get up, pack up, and head out to Paramount Ranch for the Topanga Banjo Fiddle Festival. All of our musician friends bring their instruments and we take over a porch on the old Gunsmoke set and play and sing all day. Many people we only see once a year, at the festival, but we gather, catch up and reconnect by playing many old bluegrass tunes.
What’s your favorite annual festival?
Yesterday, Facebook shares were skyrocketing on the New York Stock Exchange — for about 15 minutes. Everything calmed down and the party was short-lived. I’m guessing as time goes on it wouldn’t be a bad investment, but you’d need more than a few shares to make a difference.
If you could buy Facebook stock, would you?
Was it upon waking up with a hangover and saying, “I’m never drinking again,” or was it while trying to get out of a speeding ticket that you bent the truth a tad to the cop?
When is the last time you lied?
I saw on TW9 member celestevoce’s status that she is all for Fair Use. Under United States copyright law, fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders.
So, what say ye, all Creatives? Are you for or against Fair Use?
I’ve always liked a schedule. In school, with work, even when I worked from home, I put myself on a tight schedule. While that hasn’t changed, I used to be pretty stringent with it but have learned to go with the flow more. I’m also not as organized as I used to be.
What habits have changed as you’ve gotten older?
I was talking with an artist the other evening about Damien Hirst. I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. I don’t get him, I don’t get the “Sharks in Formaldehyde.” How is this art? How is he selling so much of it? I can respect his grift, but I think these pieces should be on display at the Museum of Science and Industry, rather than at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Don’t get me started on his piece “For the Love of God”…
What artists do you just not “get”?
Is it who really shot John F. Kennedy, or is it is there life after death? Would you like to know the phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle or confirm if aliens really exist?
Be it sublime or ridiculous, what’s one mystery you’d like solved?
Happy Mother’s Day to all fellow mothers out there!
As our family soon gathers to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday, I realized that she has been the most influential person in my life. She grounded me in values, she passed on her giving nature to me, and I’ve gotta tell ya, can she ever come up with the pith! I’d like to think that also rubbed off on me. 
She’s a fantastic, elegant, tough lady that can swear like a sailor and I hope I do as good a job raising my son as she did with the six of us.
What’s your mother mean to you?
Since the president and vice president have taken a stance on gay marriage, I’ve actually seen derogatory facebook postings from people who have gay siblings! WTH? Would someone please go and shake their shoulders for me, because I don’t understand them.
Whether it’s gay or straight, man or woman, white, black, or red all over, what’s your opinion on equality and are we all really equal?
