Yours truly spent today brooding about tone. This blog is turning into “Arts Gossip” and that’s definitely a path I don’t want it to take. I’m not going to lie–I’m a huge gossip. Dione and I talk about famous dancers as if they’re celebrities (our old running joke was “You could make a reality TV show out of ABT alone!”) . However, I don’t think that this should be the place for it–even if the readership jumped in the past week.

So all apologies for past posts that might of angered. I find myself getting more and more sardonic as the “Moving to New York” clock ticks away. Realizing that I’ll leave everyone behind makes me feel a little more free to be candid, and  must remind myself that the goals of this blog are news first, ideas second, gossip last.
