Laguna Beach...

Image
  My buddy Vanilla Dutch has created a nice spot for chilling and working on your suntan. There are palm trees, beach loungers, and several jet skis on the dock. Dutch named this place "Laguna Beach" as a tribute to an online game (vmtv) that a lot of therians played back in the day. Dan (Vanilla Dutch) mentioned that Area Club and Real World Sydney were two of his favorites spots on vmtv. The game featured one huge island in the shape of California, and moving from vmtv to there.com was pretty easy because the games shared basically the same software. If you drop by Laguna Beach, one thing you will notice is Vanilla Dutch's impressive eye for detail. He likes to get things exactly right, even if it means asking a designer for a custom-made item. Notice the small waves moving under the dock and jet-skis in the top picture. When I dropped by Laguna Beach this morning, I asked Dan if he had any thoughts on the upcoming NFL season and his favorite team, the Miami Dolphins. H...

Pinkerbelle and her concert...

Image
  Pinkerbelle's concert last Saturday was a lot of fun and well-attended. 30 people dropped by Words and Lyrics Cafe for all or part of the event, and everyone came away impressed with Pink's vocal talents. She sang five songs -- a mix of originals and covers -- and then added four more after a brief intermission. Pink also sang a few song requests from the audience. I am hoping I can book her for a few more events in the future. Thank you to everyone who came out and made this a fun evening, and also a big shout out to those who stuffed the donation box. I felt like a noob at the after-party when I had to ask how to get the donations out of the box and into my account! Enjoy your shopping spree, Pink.

Words and Lyrics is very excited to host a Saturday concert by Pinkerbelle on August 2nd at 4:30 pm- New York Time.

Pinkerbelle dropped by Words and Lyrics a few weeks ago, and I mentioned I was looking for comedy and musical talent...and here we are. I hope many of you are able to attend the show on Saturday; we will feature a first half of music, followed by an intermission, and then a second half of songs. And everyone is welcome to stick around afterwards for drinks and conversation!

Apollo 11 Moon Mission

Image
I am planning to have another watch party on July 19th at 8:00 pm, Eastern Time in the USA. Our next movie will be "First Man." This film details the life of astronaut Neil Armstrong and his leadership on the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. The moon landing took place on July 20th, 1969. "First Man" is available for streaming on sites such as Amazon and Apple TV, and I will post links as we get closer to Saturday, July 19th. First Man - Official Trailer (HD) In 2005, Neil Amstrong gave an interview with the CBS program 60 Minutes. One of the highlights of the interview is when famed broadcaster Walter Cronkite joins Ed Bradley and Neil in discussing the moment when Apollo 11 touched down on the moon.
