Beverly Hills 90210 was my go-to show in the 90’s, even now, give me a teen drama any time. If I wasn’t home to watch that week’s episode, I sure as hell had my VCR (yes, I’m that old) set. It holds a special place in my heart because it’s the first show that my sister and…
Tuesday Felicia Day’s new graphic novel, “The Lost Daughter Of Sparta,” hit stores and she kicked off her book tour at An Unlikely Story in Plainville, MA. An Unlikely Story was a great choice because it’s a quaint little bookshop in the middle of nowhere and who doesn’t love supporting indie businesses. Felicia was in…
Back in August, this story of gratitude, luck and being at the right place at the right time began. I was on my phone at work (what else does one do at work?) when I saw Annie Lennox tickets just went on sale for her two October nights in New York City discussing and signing…
Hi, I’m Dave and I’m a Debhead. (This is usually where others at the meeting chime in with a “Hi Dave”) I’ve been shaking my love since 1987 (can someone hand me a tissue please) when I first heard Debbie Gibson blasting out of my boom box radio. I wore out my “Out Of The…
The last Pride event I went to in June was a panel of authors at my favorite Connecticut bookstore, RJ Julia Booksellers. The panel consisted of Chip Pons and Marie Rutkoski and was hosted by Troix Jackson. They discussed their coming out stories and tropes their books contained, ones they might explore in the future…
I, like the majority of people, first became aware of Bob The Drag Queen when he won season eight of Rupaul’s Drag Race. However, I fell in love with Bob on the HBO series We’re Here where his empathy, intelligence and humor really shined and continues to shine in his new novel “Harriet Tubman: Live…
In 2012 I became a Krysten Ritter fan because of her show “Don’t Trust The Bitch In Apartment 23”. Which is no surprise, with a title like that. Its fun when she pops up on different shows or movies I’m watching. Most recently it was “Veronica Mars”; a pandemic binge watch and I just checked…
Not to brag, but I partied with Chelsea Handler for her 50th birthday in Boston a couple weeks ago. Well, I bought a ticket to an event for her new book “I’ll Have What She’s Having,” but it still counts…at least in my delusional mind and as noted in my diary. When I say partied, I…
There are a few divas who I worship but know I will never meet…Madonna and Cher, I’m looking at you. Tori Amos held a spot on that list until she posted on Instagram a book tour to promote her new children’s book “Tori And The Muses” with a stop at the Barnes & Nobel Union…
This past Monday, October 28th, I took a day off from work (who doesn’t love a long weekend) to go down to Brooklyn, New York for the book launch of Marina’s new book of poetry, “Eat The World”. It was a beautiful day to walk from Grand Central, over the Brooklyn Bridge and a few…
