skillful…heck yeah!

My hub-guy recently dusted off his theatre director’s hat and took on a very difficult project, a beautifully poetic play called God’s Ear. He’s been working tirelessly since before the holidays to bring the play to life and it opened this past Friday here in Hollywood.

Of course, I loved it (it also starts one of my best friends, the very talented Amanda Saunders) and I was moved to laughter and tears throughout the performance. Check out the marquee of the theatre with his name displayed prominently…

And then today, this review of the show.

Yep, that’s my husband. He’s skillful. I agree and I had to brag, because he never would.

‘the civil wars’ in concert

We were thrilled to see the folk-country-Americana duo The Civil Wars in concert the other weekend. R discovered them during an intimate live show in LA several months ago and we both immediately fell madly in love with their music.

They were playing at The Wiltern, a famous LA venue to which I had never been. It was very exciting for me to finally go! Since I’m preggo, we got seats in the balcony so I wouldn’t have to stand for the entire show.

Here we are in a fuzzy photo, waiting for the main show to begin!

If you ever get the chance to see this duo live, go, go, go! It is the most entertaining, honest, charming and sexy show ever because they have amazing chemistry together…

I can’t tell you enough how quickly you should run to get their album, Barton Hollow. Do it. And you’re welcome.

i’m a very proud wife.

You might remember that my hub was a Semi-finalist in the 2011 Slamdance Film Festival Screenwriting & Teleplay Competition…

Well, today we found out he is now one of just 3 FINALISTS!

To see his name listed, click right here and scroll down to “Teleplay”. I’m so proud and excited for him. We’ll find out who wins next week at a ceremony at the Writers Guild.

Congratulations, R! So cool.

bragging rights!

My husband is a semi-finalist in the 2011 Slamdance Screenwriting & Teleplay Competition for his Spec episode of Mad Men!!!

Click right here to check out the website with his name & script listed under the “Teleplay” list.

I would like to point out that he is one of only 8 Semi-Finalists in this category (out of hundreds of submissions, I’m pretty sure). I would also like to mention that this was the first tv script he’s written – Ever. That’s hot!

He rocks and I couldn’t be prouder.

I had the pleasure of shooting this PopSugar video! Check it out…

I think it turned out very well, despite their spelling my name wrong.
I love my job!
