Beauty and the Beast

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

The Case Footlighters put on a production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast last weekend. Even though Alana played Mrs. Potts, in our eyes Alana will always be Beauty! The entire cast did a great job. The costumes were incredible, the sets were beautiful and the music was well done. Bravo to all! I can’t wait to see what this troop does next year.

Irish Breakfast with Fiona Ritchie

Monday, March 19th, 2007

My band, Barrowburn, played for the WUNC Irish Breakfast with Fiona Ritchie this morning at Tir na nOg Irish Pub. It was an honor to be able to play for Fiona Ritchie after all the great music she has brought to me with her show The Thistle and Shamrock. We also had a great audience of Celtic music loving fans of WUNC. What a way to end our St. Patrick’s Day week!

Those crazy folks over at I Make Things are sending a balloon into space! (Well, to very high altitude). This is a group of volunteers who are building a multi-camera payload that will generate panoramic photo every 7 seconds as weather balloon ascends until the balloon pops. They are doing everything right, following all FAA flight rules including radar reflector, flight rules, etc. Very cool.
