Revolution Rising…

We’re shooting nights this week. Last night we wrapped a little before 1am and I was home by 1:30. I told myself I was going straight to bed but that was a lie. I had to watch The Revolution. My phone woke me at 8:30am this morning. Needless to say, I’m [...]

The Revolution Hits a Snag

I’m buried at work. But even if I had the time to get into last night’s Revolution, I wouldn’t have much to say aside from: Too much delusion for my taste. I ran out of Tivo tail half way through. I’d rather watch commercials than delusional dancers.
If you haven’t yet wandered over to [...]

How It’s Done

You know how I always bitch and moan about the crap camera work on SoYouThinkYouCanDanceDanceRevolution? Well, they should hire whoever shot this. I’ve shared a smidge of LaLaLa Human Steps’ “Amelia” before but this clip is an even better example of how dance, choreographed for and supported by the camera can be stunning [...]

And So It Begins… (Updated)

(Look how happy Cat is to be back!)

Revolutionary Alums Have Good Taste

I do love myself some Regina Specter. Also love a lil Phillip Chbeeb. I do wish this had been shot a little tighter but we’ll take what we can get.

T – 2 Days: Back to Back Bitches!!

I know, I know. I’m terrible. Life has been intruding on blogging something fierce these last couple weeks. I’m popping in briefly to make sure you’ve heard the news… The glorious, transcendent, gift from the TV gods news…
BACK TO BACK SEASONS OF THE REVOLUTION Y’ALL!

And Cat’s so totally jazzed about it. That’s [...]

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart: T-14 Days

Oh shits, the Revolution draws ever nigh. Fortunately, I’ve got so much on my plate, the time is flying by…
Speaking of which, I’m flying to NYC this weekend to see my amazing friend Marin in her TONY NOMINATED PERFORMANCE ON BROADWAY. Sorry, I had to CAPS-scream about it. I’m so [...]
