[Spotlight Post] Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
This is a crosspost from Celtic Music Magazine. This one is an Austin based Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. When this album and band came up, I had to check it out – and not just because they’re from Austin, TX. A band called Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead describing themselves as: Irish […]
[Spotlight Post][Conventions] SoonerCon 23, June 27-29, 2014
It’s a Friday Spotlight Day. It’s also been a…challenging…week. So, since I buried my SoonerCon schedule in the Wednesday Post, I’m going to repost it, with today’s spotlight being SoonerCon. This is a fun convention. They’ve made some changes in the past couple of years to a (in my opinion) better facility. They’re a great […]
[Spotlight Post] Amanda Wyss
On Wednesday I talked about the business side of Dallas Comic Con. I tried to be clear that it was never, ever about the people. I love the people involved with Dallas Comic Con. And though I try not to flaunt it, I do enjoy meeting the celebrities because the ones I meet are generally […]
[Spotlight Post] Celtic Pipes Rock – Oceans of Fire – Cross Post
This was my second review for Celtic Music Magazine IF you like this review, go check out the Celtic Music Magazine Website and podcasts for MORE music. I admit to spending much of my life buying into the “mainstream” belief that bagpipes were something to be avoided, even after doing some work at a renaissance […]
[Spotlight Post] And…
I really wanted to do a good post today – but I’ve got nothing. It’s been a week of Uncertainty and Impending Chaos – which would make a good band name if it didn’t mess with my head so much. And much of what is causing the above is all centered on other things/people. Where […]
[Spotlight Post] Tiffany Franzoni & Roll2Play
Hey, look a Friday spotlight post that’s actually a spotlight! Today, I’m going to introduce some of you to Tiffany Franzoni – owner and operator of Roll2Play game store, and all around cool person. She not only runs a great business, she put on a heckuva event called T.A.B.L.E. this past weekend. I admit, I’ve […]
[Spotlight Post] SkullSoap
It’s the Friday before Christmas and Spotlight post day. Today I’m going to introduce you to a local DFW artisan and the lovely people over at SkullSoap.com. As I’ve gotten older (and hopefully wiser), I’ve stopped using perfume. I don’t like strong scents (if the scent is too “big” I can actually taste it), and […]
[Spotlight Post] A Christmas Story for You
Instead of a spotlight post – here’s a quick Christmas Flash Fiction piece I wrote just for you…hope you enjoy it. Confessions of A Teenage Christmas Ornament By Rhonda Eudaly “But what if I don’t WANT to sparkle?” In my mind it was a legitimate question. My mom didn’t seem to think so. “That’s enough […]
[Spotlight Post] Snow Day!
Today’s spotlight is spotty at best. We’re in the midst of “Icemeggdon” here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I made the decision to NOT go into work. My husband’s company is closed for the day. We’re taking a rare “day off” (ish) stuck in the house. Unfortunately, this morning we had very sporadic power, but […]
