Dan and Hugh A Steady Rain with Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman The first WOW was Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman, Thursday a week [...]

The annual this-is-not-an-XMAS card postcard exchange I admit that I am a little late this year but it is that time of the year again: The annual this-is-not-an-XMAS card postcard exchange I will design a brand new Girl postcard which I am going to have printed in a card shop in a special very limited [...]

A Steady Rain, Broadway, New York Now this was bound to be a magical evening and it was. I am not sure if it was the fantastic well acted and intense play that this is, or if it was the two leads auctioning off their shirts at the end of the show. Tough choice! It [...]
