Every once and awhile you get a chance to see people that you had some of the best times of your life with. This was one of those nights.

One Of A Thousand

By Jesse, himself. | Published: July 29, 2007

Zipped back out to Upper Canada Playhouse this weekend to see the show, joined by some friends from the hometown. They were traveling on their own in an open car and took the time to drop down to the Thousand Islands Parkway and enjoy the scenic route. After hearing about how much they loved it, we decided to take a look on our way back.

And am I ever glad we did. I highly recommend this drive. It is spectacular!

It seems like every island had a home or cottage, no matter how big or small. And if they didn’t—they were building…

Glorious Discoveries

Well, I’m back from directing Bedtime Stories at Upper Canada Playhouse and I’m slowly digging out of my backlog. But I just wanted to post a great online radio station that I’ve found.

It’s a Jazz and Heritage radio station in New Orleans called WWOZ and it is absolutely amazing. I’ve been listening for two days and the mix of music is fabulous.

Having been a number of times to New Orleans – all pre-Katrina – I know what an incredible town it is for music. Listening to this station takes me there again.

The best 2 minute commercial I’ve seen.

By Jesse, himself. | Published: June 18, 2007

I used to believe that episodic tv could barely compete with the production value of 30-second tv spots. Commercials had $2 million for 30 seconds – an episode of a series had less budget to make 52 minutes. The only leg-up was story-and-character: time to develop was on the side of the series.

But 2 minute efforts like this show how much can be accomplished in 120 seconds. Brilliant.
