Saturday night I saw an off-Broadway play that featured Idi Amin as a character. The play is called Steve and Idi and it follows the life of a writer named Steve who after losing his partner, agent and a big career-making opportunity decides to take his...

The Tony Award nominations are in! Broadway's annual red-carpet recognition of what talent shinned this year in mega-bucks theater. And yes, I tend to be a downtown theater guy. Meaning I prefer the more edgier canon of the off-Broadway scene over the...

I just returned from Cincinnati where I was there to celebrate my dad's birthday. You know, the soul-hipster artsy son flies in to cook up Quinoa Vegetable Paella and Roasted Pear for his Pops like he's fresh from a Top Chef elimination. But I believe...

A friend of mine told me not to blog about this. He told me if I did I could get jacked with a slander claim or worse. But I'm a daredevil. Meaning I thrive on the slim chance of repercussion. I'm lying... kinda. Anyway, several years ago I was the assistant...
