Lafayette Jeff Band Marches in Hollywood Christmas Parade

As one of the one hundred members of the Lafayette Jeff marching band who made the trip to perform in the Hollywood Christmas parade this weekend, Michael performed for between 800,000 and a million people--more than most musicians perform for in decades. The 80th Hollywood Christmas parade took place tonight, preceded by a couple of days in Las Vegas and a couple more sightseeing days in LA. There's a video clip from Channel 18 at Eddy Creative here.

Custom-made Desks at the Fort

Last weekend Phillip made desks for himself and his fellow residents of Fort Eddy. Process and results are shown below.

New Videos from Rent

You can see four new videos from the Roeper production of Rent at Eddy Creative here.

Paul in Romeo and Juliet

Word is that Paul has landed the role of Benvolio in a new production of Romeo and Juliet. Benvolio is a cousin and friend of Romeo's who talks Romeo into crashing the Capulet party where he first sees Juliet. He is also active in the critical scene in which Mercutio (a Montague) is slain by Tybalt (a Capulet), who is, in turn, slain by Romeo (a Montague). The production will be done with an all male cast, as it was done in Shakespeare's time. It will be directed by Anya Saffir, whom Paul worked with at Atlantic Theater and directed Three Little Pigs. Should be a great experience! Shakespeare!

Ian at Purdue Win Over Ohio State

Here's a nice shot of Ian as jubilant Purdue fans flood the field at Ross Ade after a thrilling and unexpected victory over Ohio state last weekend. Unfortunately they could not repeat that performance this week, falling to Iowa.

Clip of Julia in Rent

I've posted a video clip of Julia singing in the Roeper production of Rent on Eddy Creative Commons here. Courtesy of Jamie. There may be more forthcoming. You may also note that I put up some clips of Julia in last winter's Guys and Dolls as well.

Steve's Radio Essay on Haircuts

Steve's latest radio essay starts out with a haircut disaster for Tyler and then segues into memories of Dad's forays into barbering. Chris is featured, as am I (in an episode I have no memory of). By the way, Andy Rooney just retired at 92, so expect Steve to be making his move any time now. Here's the essay.
