Tutankhamun an the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, San Francisco
The 3000-year-old murder mystery of Tutankhamun has intrigued the whole world for more than 80 years, since Howard Carter discovered this boy King’s tomb in 1922. This was the first intact tomb of a Pharaoh to be discovered in modern times. Being an Ancient Egypt enthusiast, I had wished …
Michael C. Carlos Museum
This museum is spectacular. Delightfully anachronistic and mind-numbingly boring, the Carlos Museum stole my heart. I’m not sure why, but I simply love it there… most of the exhibits (the Ancient Americas in particular) are really fairly bad, as they just contain some old pottery (cool, if you are …
2008 Beaver Dam Lake Days

Billy Joel/Twyla Tharp’s “Movin’ Out”
I caught a national tour performance of the Billy Joel/Twyla Tharp show “Movin’ Out” - originally a Broadway production, this show’s national tour is pretty new.

Purl bar, London
Cocktails have received enormous attention from bartenders in recent years.

Bartenders slick …

Club Karaoke Buffalo NY
Buffalo’s best karaoke night, by far, takes place on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday at a dilapidated place called “Club Karaoke” - it’s pure genius. Pull up and you see a toilet just chilling outside the club where one might expect a flowerbox… walk in, and you’re greeted with …
