Jul 1, 2009: The Studio Arena board fails at failing

Studio Arena bankruptcy moves to Chapter 7.

They (the board) paint things like they tried everything and couldn't make it work, but the fact is that they refused to try anything involving risk or effort. Ideas were presented. Plans were developed. There were people willing to lead, but the board wouldn't let them. They wanted a quick and easy way out, and when they couldn't find it, they gave up. They might look good in the press now, but each and every one of them should be ashamed that it ever got to this point.

The future of the building is not the issue. It will very likely live on under the management of Sheas. But Sheas has no interest in continuing Studio Arena's legacy as a nationally recognized producing theatre. It will become another road house where the productions come in a box and leave in a box. No local talent involved.

Studio Arena, the production company isn't necessarily gone either. If enough people want to keep it alive, it will return. But it will be a long road back to LORT B status.

Mar 10, 2009: Social Networking

So, against my better judgement, I have joined the world of social networking. I am now on Facebook. It has already proved its usefulness. I have found there are a lot of people out there I forgot that I knew. Now I can spam them all with totally useless information.

Feb 14, 2009: Some photography from Corbin

Corbin and Kira got cameras for Christmas. I've been meaning to post some of the pictures they've been taking, so here they are. Corbin seems to have the idea. Kira just likes to hear it beep when she presses the button.

Feb 11, 2009: Hey, remember when I used to post pictures?

So I grabbed a handful of pictures taken with my shiny new camera, including such fine moments as Corbin's first car, the pilfering squirrel, Kira's parking lot, and Corbin loses his first tooth.

The kids

The bad squirrel
