Cleveland.com's Twitter Twenty: How I'm Celebrating Twitter's 5th Birthday
With Twitter celebrating its 5th birthday today, I was happy to get my own Tweet-related present: being selected as one of this month’s Cleveland Twitter Twenty! The Twitter Twenty is a program created by cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer that’s now in its third month. Each month, twenty Clevelanders on…
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) at Great Lakes Theater Festival
Last week Scott and I saw My Name is Asher Lev at The Cleveland Play House, which used a three person cast playing multiple characters to tell an intimate story about a man’s struggle between his Hasidic roots and the Manhattan art world. Another show on stage right now in Cleveland…
Guest Post – Queen of the Ice Wine: South River Vineyards and the Ice Wine Festival
I came to the sad conclusion a while ago that I’m incapable of exploring everything in Northeast Ohio. Case in point, I was really disappointed to have to miss the Geneva Ice Wine Festival this past weekend (and the coming weekend since I’m going to be in Chicago for this).…
My Name is Asher Lev at the Cleveland Play House
Religion and art can simultaneously be two of the most unifying and polarizing topics between people. This is because – unlike other heated subjects such as politics or your favorite sports team – the two have become about much more than beliefs and opinions. They’ve seen entire cultures and ways…
A busy week for TwestivalCLE: Updates on Buying Your Tickets
If you’ve been following @TwestivalCLE, you’ll know it’s been a really busy week for the coordinating team as we unveiled our new logo (courtesy of Casual Images Graphic Design!), announced the Cleveland charity that will benefit from the March 24th event and got the ticket and donation sites up…
Guest Post – Orchid Mania: Purple Reign comes to the Cleveland Botanical Garden
One of the things I enjoy about Clue Into Cleveland is when someone offers to share their CLE experiences with me. So, when my friend Elizabeth asked if she could write about the Botanical Garden’s Orchid Mania show, I immediately said yes. You may remember Elizabeth from her previous Clue Into Cleveland contributions: People-Watching Spots in Coventry and Celebrating…
Clue Into Cleveland, One Year Later
One year ago yesterday I started Clue Into Cleveland. I’m both a little surprised and proud of myself for keeping this up for twelve months. Before this blog, I had had Livejournal and Blogger sites, but they were personal blogs and after a few months my interest in them would wane. I had partially…
Cleveland Twestival on March 24 at AMP 150
Now that Jump Back Ball is done for the year and I don’t have shop nights to attend or an outfit to throw together, you’d think I’d take a break and relax. You’d be wrong. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be happy to be helping @KaseyCrabtree and @KimiKay…
"See. Shop. Learn." at Crafty Goodness — New Arts Store Opening in Lakewood
I don’t really consider myself very good at producing art. Sure, I enjoy sketching and painting, but my ability there is pretty limited. And if you get me near any sort of craft that demands a lot of physical dexterity, I’m often defeated by an innate clumsiness. Understanding how much talent and skill is…
Jump Back Ball, Part 8: A recap of JBB20, Passport to Party
The last time I posted, I had been rushing out the door to finish getting ready for Saturday night’s Jump Back Ball. I pretty much had been looking forward to PlayhouseSquare’s annual benefit since I first read about it last year — so when I walked in the doors of the theatre,…
