Spring time...might be nice...

So, there is an annual film festival in our singles stake called "Lingos". The clip below was the winner this year. It is in reference to the prop 8 protestors that would picket outside of the temple:



Yes, this is the same Ryan that had the 4th of July Cabaret act. There is a Christmas performance coming up. I can't wait.

Worth every penny

Last night was a big deal.... I saw Liza Minelli perform at the Palace theater. The same theater her mother played in the 50s and 60s. She was uh-mazing!!! Some quick points regarding the evening:

1) I was the youngest person there - guaranteed
2) I've never seen so many fabulous drag queens in all my life. They really looked great- I'm not even kidding.
3) I've never seen so many grown adults giddy and jumping in place while waiting in the lobby.
4) Screams of excitment and tears of joy lasted for several minutes the moment we caught a glimpse of her starting pose - back to the audience, one arm on her hip, the other shot straight above her tilted head, her long, spotlight created shadow reaching to the rafters.
5) Liza likes sparkly sequence...a lot...
6) Her voicing is truly amazing live- we just don't have singers like that anymore.
7) She is crazy in the best way possible.
8) She rocked a black mini dress and knee high boots like nobody's business.
9) She had the most touching stories to tell about her mother and her god mother. She dedicated the second act to her godmother - Kay Thompson ( musical arranger for MGM back in the day).
10) She made me cry when she sang "New York, New York". That song really gets to me now.

They make me smile

These adds are plastered all over the subway. The adds are the only positive thing I can think of associated with the subway system at the moment. I just love the simple messages. I think it is sad that we are getting so plugged in so much. I shouldn't have to be on facebook just to know how people are doing or what is going on in their lives.....
