Cool things are happening in the world

People are out there doing so many cool things with their lives...it's not all formating copy decks for car sites, let me tell you...and it's so great to see people really doing creative, positive things with their lives, just trying to make this world a better place.

Heard about all of this today...

Ana, a friend of C's, has a nice show going on out in Lexington. She used to shoot for Filene's and wanted to do more with her talent than shoot kitchenware. Her show's at the Munroe Center for the Arts until the end of the month. Don't try the site though. It's woefully out of date. Hey Munroe, get into the 21st century would you.

Fellow actor (wait a minute, is a person a fellow when she's a woman??) Margot is getting all kinds of work, and her Facebook status is usually followed by an exclamation point! Today she's prepping for her 1st voiceover recording session for the documentary film On the Lake: Life and Love in a Distant Place.

Email today from my old music teacher, Colleen (wait, she's not old, she's my former teacher) played solo acoustic at SXSW this year and is recording for her new CD that will debut later this year. She and Greg moved to Austin last year (she's the best music teacher I ever had; she turned me onto songwriting by simply saying after our first lesson, go home and write two songs, just like that...she was good because she didn't get into having to learn scales and the right position for holding you pick, though that's all really, really important, she felt what's inside is what counts, and that anyone with a brain and some patience could get the rest.)
