So, this is about two months late. In June, Josh and I packed up our car and ourselves and drove South. First stop was Myrtle Beach for two nights, then a stop in Tampa to see family, then some wonderful days in Key West, then back up to Orlando for three days, and then two [...]

On our way to our friends in Boston for the Fourth of July weekend, we stopped by this place. It is right of exit 74 on I-84 on Connecticut. Now here’s the thing, I’ve driven that way to-and-from Boston many times during the later years of college. I never saw the sign for it. No [...]

I love going to conferences. Not only do I get to talk up our books to librarians, but I get to just talk about books in general and see what other publishers are doing. And I get to see some old faces from previous conferences. This was my second TLA conference, and my second time [...]

Ok, I know I already posted about the NYICFF but I have to mention now the movie The Secret of Kells, which I went to see on Tuesday on a whim, and Josh actually joined me. The NYICFF was running lots of showtimes for this movie, especially after it got nominated for an Oscar, and [...]

So what was this?
It’s the show where you get to touch and feel all sorts of books. And judging is based purely on the packaging. The judging actually happens back in late Fall, and in March the winning books are put on display for you to look at in the annual show. So all those [...]

Last year, my friend and I stumbled upon this Film Festival, and [...]

Last Saturday, Josh and I, and two of our friends went to Times Square to see the Reduced Shakespeare Company perform The Complete Works of Shakespeare….Abridged. All of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets in one handy-dandy 100 minute production. Performed by three men.
One word: Hilarious!
Josh and I had seen the DVD back in college but this [...]

Last Tuesday, Josh and I went to see The Tempest at BAM. It was part of this year’s Bridge Project, and directed by Sam Mendes (aka Kate Winslet’s husband aka Hollywood Director). It was also my birthday present from Josh. It had been awhile since I read this play. I remember exactly when I read [...]

For Valentine’s Day, Josh and I went over to the Museum of Modern Art to see the Tim Burton Exhibition. I hadn’t been to the MoMa since before they did renovations…mostly because I cringed at their new admission price of $20. We both love Tim Burton and his movies. The Nightmare Before Christmas has to [...]
