Davey Dance Blog

Best video blog ever. Upon first glance it appeared silly but then I realized the song choice is always ironic. Oh, and Davey has some nice dance moves. Just watching one of these made me forget all about the hour of sleep I lost last night.

Between Barack and A Hard Place

The current Second City Chicago main stage review is definitely the best and funniest one I’ve ever seen. It’s been a few years since the last time I had gone to Second City but I can’t ever remember laughing as much. Apparently, I haven’t been away from Chicago too long to get the jokes about sow-sidas and corrupt Aldermen. My favorite sketch of the evening, had to be the Art Institute tour guide with the heavy mid-west Chicago accent - worth the price of admission alone. The musical numbers were all spot on, another sign that the cast are all solid performers with great chemistry.

It should go without saying that I had a wonderful time in Chicago with some old friends. Truly, absence makes the heart grow fonder…

I was just listening to Ghostland Observatory - Sad Sad City
