The Blog 

After a brief hiatus from blogging in July of ‘07, I’m back writing on the arts et al (which means everything in my neck of the woods and beyond: the writerly life, music, dance, visual arts, and theatre). It’s important to note that this blog is not an arts criticism blog, but more a repository for extra arts related writing that, for whatever reason, doesn’t get in print. I stress this because reviews I write for local publications resemble nothing that is on this blog–and if it did, I’d be out of a job.
