The 39 Steps at The Faclon Theatre

Somewhere someone told me The 39 Steps was a spoof of all the Hitchcock movies, and I heard that repeated a few times last night. Watching the show I started thinking I needed to go back and rewatch Hitchcock because I wasn't picking up which movies were being spoofed. Looking up The 39 Steps this morning I found out it was written in 1915 and later made into a movie by Hitchcock in 1935, one of his first. So that explained my confusion, not a spoof of Hitchcock at all but a Hitchcock spoof. Subtle difference there.

What is The 39 Steps? A four actor show, one woman and three men. Dan Doerger portrays the protagonist, Richard Hannay. Elizabeth Molloy plays all three of his varied love interests. Mike Hall and Donnie McGovern play the other 40 roles with their varying accents, sometimes multiple roles and accents in one scene changing characters with the switch of a hat.

Falcon is one of the smallest most intimate stages in the area so no matter where you are sitting you almost feel part of the action. Action that is fast paced and hilarious. The props are cleverly done and are the costume changes. If you don't see many theater productions this should be on your short list. You can find more info on Falcon's webpage.
I should also add this was a yelp! sponsored event so it was free.
Thanks yelp!

suite life

We scored some primo tickets to the 'Clones, funny thing, we've sat down close before like 2 rows back, but up high its much easier to follow the puck and the action.


It was Twister's birthday


I was laughing at these two imagining them shouting "I know you are but what am I?"



The Cyclones hung on at the end of the third half for the win.

Sid Saturday: Wednesday Edition

OK, this is dumb but two years ago today this character showed up at Parker Flats.
Its all sturm und drang with this supercilious little punk.
Since this picture was taken he's done everything in his power not to let me take another.

Bakersfield

Bakersfield, its like your old taco place spent the winter in Southern California and came back all sophisticated, this place is gonna be the mother of all taco joints.
So here is the scoppity scoop.
Bakersfield imported Chaz Barracato from Austin to be the head chef.
The salsa verde and 4" tortillas are made fresh every single day.
The red salsa is smoky and hot.
And if you skip the pickled jalapenos, why did you even bother?

a den of Japenese cool in OTR
I love the fact that all the gastro pubs in OTR keep it simple and let the food do the talking



doesn't get any cooler than Cash

when you get the boot in Bakersfield its not a bad thing






You know what they say, live by the taco, die by the taco. I think Bakersfield is going to do pretty good by the taco.

Enoteca Emilia

I'm slowly slowly broadening my horizons in the food realm.
The other night a group of my favorite deipnosophists joined up for a evenimg of degustation at Enoteca Emilia.
(someone has been thumbing through the dictionary)
A selection of small dishes, the portions were small, the flavors the size of a Roman coliseum. So even though there were one or two things floating around I wouldn't have normally eaten everything tasted so good it was easy to break out of my rut.

A cozy intimate feeling place that had enough space between tables that you almost forget you're not the only people in the place, unlike some places where you're rubbing elbows with people at other tables.


It was so relaxing no one wanted to be the first one to get up and we sat around talking maybe longer than we should have.
One caveat, you knew there had to be one. Enoteca Emilia is expensive, but amazingly, the food is so incredible you don't feel like you're over paying for it.

Candlemas Day

If Candlemas Day be fair and bright
Winter will have another fight.
If Candlemas Day brings cloud and rain,
Winter won't come again.

If Candlemas Day be dry and fair,
The half o the winter's to come and mair;
If Candlemas Day be wet and foul,
The half o the winter's gane at Yule.

OTR Flags

This summer for eight weeks after Washington Park's grand opening 100 colorful hand painted flags will fly all over the park. Some will be professionally painted,or painted by real artists but most will be painted by members of the community. Angela Morrow came up with this wonderful idea of inclusion and ran it past some friends and the project was born. There has been great interest in sponsoring the artists flags but there is still room for the community to contribute.

From the OTR Flags facebook page;

OTR FLAGS, a community-wide project, inspires ownership of the park through art. Art is a safe, positive catalyst of expression enabling Over-the-Rhine community members to develop a common story or an experience and connection with the Washington Park landmark. All proceeds from OTR FLAGS will be allocated for further programming at Washington Park.

Ms 5chw4r7z and I had the opportunity to join in last weekend and had fun painting a flag. All materials are included,check on the OTR Flags facbook page then think about your next opportunity to paint a flag.
OTR Flags workshop are on Saturdays starting at 1:00pm

February 11th – Buddies Place
February 28th – Drop Inn Center
March 10th – Art Academy
March 24th – Brewery District
April 14th – Nast Trinity
May 5th – Emanuel Community Center
