Hello Hudson –

This week marks the fourth year of Trixie’s List. Thank you for reading.

What started as a fun pandemic project is now almost a full time job (well, let’s say this…I spend more time working on Trixie’s List every week than I have at some full time jobs).

You want a story?

It’s a weird story. You don’t have to read, you can just scroll down.

I went to the Substack Writers’ Meetup yesterday at BackBar. Several writers in the area met to share their stories.

OK…page up…. What is Substack? Substack is a website where people write. You can follow the writers, subscribe, and pay to read their pieces. It’s sorta like a writer’s version of onlyfans – if that helps some of you relate…

One writer said that they only write what they want to write.

I thought to myself, well, that’s nice.

It reminded me of a time, a couple of years ago, when I sent a writer/friend, Adreanna Limbach, out on her first assignment for Trixie’s List. I asked if she could review the play, “The Nether” at the Ghent Playhouse.

(The Ghent Playhouse is a charming theater on Route 66, just a block or two away from the Dairy Queen. Their current production is The Bridges of Madison County, a wonderful musical. This is the show’s last weekend, go see it.)

Adreanna saw The Nether with her husband. After the play, I received a phone call.

“Trix. Did you know what this play was about?”

I had no idea. I just go to events, sometimes by recommendation, sometimes I get a free ticket, whatever. I probably should have googled it beforehand.

I sent an eight-month pregnant woman and her husband to see a play about the moral and ethical issues surrounding virtual pedophilia.

Adreanna wrote the review of the Nether, which you can still read here.

That review shows the level of commitment we have to our area’s culture and community, and to local theater.

Adreanna Limbach and her husband, Lodro Rinzler, have a substack account, The Laundry. They live in Columbia County and write every week, mostly about finding the happiness in everyday life. It’s always a good read. I subscribe.

Thank you for supporting local media!
