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.
Happy Father’s Day to all Dads!
Dad, I wish you were here so I could toast you on your day but I am with my father-in-law, an equally as honorable and admirable man.
I so admired how my dad loved taking care of anyone whether it be his six kids, friends or even a stray cat. He [...]
This evening, join Gallery 9 as we celebrate “Outside the Abstract”, an exhibit featuring six Los Angeles abstract artists. Reception is from 6:30pm – 10pm.
Whether it is as notorious as Jackson Pollock or as obscure as an artist you saw at a street fair in Minneapolis, it doesn’t matter if the work costs $250,000 or [...]
Circus shows have greatly changed since I was a kid. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey were about the only option and maybe a super rinky-dink circus would come through our small town with like one elephant.
Now you’ve got the Cirque — one of the most magnificent sites I’ve ever seen, no matter the concept.
Whether [...]
Bad Heart’s latest blog in “The Beat Goes On” asks what song is currently stuck in your head. He is haunted by The Trashmen’s “Surfin’ Bird” with its driving beat and old-school surf sound.
Let’s put that question on its head now…
If you could have just one song playing softly in your mind for the rest [...]
Last night, President Obama spoke to the American people about (among other things) the oil spill. As Americans grow more frustrated with the way this disaster is playing out, do you think the President is taking charge of the situation?
Loved reading Michael Newcomer’s well-written blog about The World Cup. Here here, I say! If there’s ever a time to wrap yourself in the flag it’s now (or the Olympics.) But since we are quite the large melting pot, I understand an allegiance to a team other than your county’s team.
Are you following the World [...]
Do kids still get an allowance? I didn’t really get one, but I still was expected to do chores around the house. Emptying the dishwasher, making my bed, folding clothes, and helping with dinner were the usual tasks that I reluctantly did. I hated emptying the dishwasher and now the Universe mocks me as I [...]
In most communities across the nation, there are weekly farmers markets that set up and sell the freshest produce. I love a good farmers market but I don’t get to them as often as I’d like. I think Sundays are a great Farmers Market day and if you can find parking around Hollywood and Vine, [...]
If you’re a city slicker, chances are so is the water. You opt for something cleaner, something clearer. Arrowhead seems to be my all-time go-to brand, but I like Smart Water, too. I think it’s just too expensive to buy on a day-to-day basis.
With an endless stream (pardon the pun) out there, what’s your favorite [...]
We’ve been on the family topic this week and have discussed what qualities we’ve inherited from our parents. There are however qualities that are uniquely our own. Both of my parents were late for everything — church, parties, basketball games, you name it. I hated traipsing up the aisle to the mid-front of the church [...]
