As a new member of the Oakland Board, I hadn’t yet experienced the perception problem that is associated with the drag genre; it wasn’t part of my context, until recently. I stopped at a few businesses in the community seeking donations for the Fabulous Chinese Auction that is a part of our annual How the [...]

Live-ish blogging from The Stage

Well friends, the other three bloggers, Tyler, Scott, and Crse, all got their “live from the O Stage” posts up before me. Scott kept it short and funny, mostly focused somehow on cake. This is what I love about Scott; the man knows what’s important. Tyler came in second with his reviews and his wife [...]

I’m a little late to the party with this announcement because I was too busy being all political, but The Stage at the Oakland is celebrating its third anniversary tonight! From 8 to 11, it’s an open mic event that is unparalleled in the area and delightfully wrong in so many ways (4 words…rock and [...]

Open House at the Oakland

Last week, I was thrilled to join the board of the Oakland Center for the Arts. The board, although only one part of the O’s unique spirit in the YO, is a fabulous team of thinkers, workers, and pro-Yo folks. This Saturday, the O family is presenting our season, thanking our friends for their support, and introducing ourselves [...]
I didn’t want to write about THE LIST
Posted in love your YO, tagged forbes, nyc, youngstown on August 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
There are so many of us Yo bloggers that things could get a little redundant. I’m a Yo lover who lives in the Bo (my brand new, as of today coinage), so I usually try to provide the perspective of one with a foot in both worlds, city and suburb.
I originally chose not to write [...]

Festival Fun

Here are the Oakland’s Brooke Slanina and Robert Dennick Joki at the Oakland/Victorian Players/Youngstown Playhouse/YACTA tent. As predicted, the festival was a blast. My girls designed their own tiles and windchimes at the children’s art tent, and we took in a Nova presentation about black holes at the planetarium. Jim sampled some Polish cuisine (the [...]
