We had seen a lot on our family trip to New York. The Statue of Liberty, The 9/11 Memorial and Museum, Central Park, Macy’s, The Empire State Building, Times Square, Broadway, and more tourist shops than you could shake an overpriced stick made in China at. Yes, we had done quite a bit in two […]

Aladdin on Broadway: A Full Review (A New York City Family Adventure – Part 2)
After our first day in the city, we started off day two by sleeping in. It was around 11 by the time we made it to Central Park, and after lunch at Shake Shack we stopped back to change and get ready for Broadway! I was the only one of the four of us who […]
The 9/11 Memorial Museum: Why? (A New York City Family Adventure – Part 1)
When my mother, Toy Grammy, turned 60 this year, we wanted to do something big for her. Since she had never been to New York City, and had been slightly envious of my daughter’s birthday trip there I think, I had the idea to take her there for the weekend. I also decided that anyone […]
A Party or a Trip?
When we were beginning to plan my daughter’s seventh birthday, we asked her if she would rather have a birthday party with all of her friends, or take a trip with her parents. Thankfully, because she was turning seven and not thirteen, Ruby said that she wanted to go to New York City and see […]
The Bed of the Friend of the Neighbor of My Agent
I was supposed to be in New York for a week two weeks ago, but this little old hurricane came along and cancelled all of my auditions. But it’s ok! People are starting to reschedule! In fact, on Friday I had two auditions, with only one problem. I had nowhere to stay Thursday night. Everyone […]
Attending a Letterman Taping
It is very easy to attend a live taping of “The Late Show” starring David Letterman. Sure, I know on their website it says that you have to either fill out a form online or apply in person at the studio, and then you have only a small chance at getting a ticket and must […]
The Megabus Goes to Vermont
Guys! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this! The Megabus goes to Vermont! One of the biggest obstacles in my way of becoming a full-time professional singer is that it is way too damn expensive to be a full time professional singer. And a big part of that problem is getting back […]
Life’s Like a Movie
One of the best things about being in New York City is walking down the street with your iPod blasting dramatic music into your ears and pretending that you are in a movie. If you have visited New York and for some reason have not done this, you are missing out. New York is such […]
Voice Lesson at Hooters
My voice teacher is crazy. I mean that in the most affection way possible, obviously, but there it is. And I have proof of this fact. How else could I schedule a voice lesson that ultimately led me to be hiding in the back corner of a Hooters while trying to say goodnight to my […]
The Circus
Parents, I have a warning for you. There will come a day when you will be tempted to cram too much fun into one day. It will end in tears. Resist! You cannot do two exciting things on one day, even if you really want to, and you cannot do even one exciting thing on […]
