I saw a show called “Hamlet | Toilet” and said to myself, ‘I have to go!’ Prior to Columbia County, I lived in the East Village of NYC from 1987 until 2009. With multiple NYU Drama School friends and roommates, I’ve sat through more than my fair share of black box avant garde theater performances….

Yard Sales and Nihilism
Nihilism: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless. You love a good yard sale. Your friends from Brooklyn are coming up this weekend, and they CANNOT WAIT to rummage through someone’s brick-a-brack strewn across a lawn. Is this painting only $25? Could it be worth thousands? Millions?…
First Annual Mrs. Roper Romp in Hudson, NY
Some people had to google “Mrs. Roper”. However, many of us remember the wacky sex-starved landlady of the 70’s sitcom Three’s Company. Actress Audra Lindley’s character, Mrs. Roper, is an icon. There are Mrs. Roper Romps throughout the country, but this was the first one in Hudson, NY, organized by Trixie’s List (why not?). On…

Inspired by a recent New York Times article, “36 Hours: Barcelona”, I decided to write about this past weekend’s experience and the (approximately) three and a half hours I spent in Kinderhook.

Maker Flea Market – A Tale from “Antique Gay City”
You can always tell who’s new to Hudson, because they like to go shopping for stuff. After you’ve lived in Hudson for a while, or your whole life, there’s a tendency to want to get rid of things. That’s my current status. I wanted pancakes last weekend, so I invited a Hudson “newbie” to Bob’s….
