Thoughts on Theater: Drowsy Chaperone
The Drowsy Chaperone, a musical with book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, is by far one of my favorite musicals. Not only is the music amazing, it is also one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my life. This is no [...]

Crystal Castles at House of Blues
On October 6, we had a chance to experience a different direction in the EDM artist we tend to cover. That’s right — we went to see Crystal Castles at the House of Blues.
