Today, there are many way one might go about getting backstage passes. One way to score concert backstage passes to the hottest shows coming to your town is to win them. Granted, there is no sure fire way to insure you will be the lucky winner of many backstage passes up for grabs when a hot ticket comes to town, but if the concert is that big, rest assured there will be plenty of opportunities to go after them. If you do not have a fat wallet and cannot afford the high prices it cost to purchase such a ticket package, trying to win them is the next best option.

Why Buy a Chess Set in a Financial Downturn?

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

When you buy a chess set from ChessBaron, you never really own it – you just keep it for the next generation. And what better time than when retailers are cutting margins to the bone. You can get a ChessBaron set at rock bottom prices which will serve as a heritage for your children and grandchildren. The chess sets are finely detailed. They have that wonderful quality of making you notice the gaps between the teeth and the lines of the muscles in the face and neck. The pieces are weighted (auxiliary alloy inserted into the base of the piece to give it good on-board stability) and the wood is the best grade of rosewood and ebony. Help the economy by making that purchase, but most of all help yourself – to a set of fine chess pieces that will last through to the next few generations. What a nice way to have your children remember you buy!

A modern twist on the ukulele

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

My husband and I recently just went and saw a Canadian rock band perform, and had the best time.  They had so many great sounds it was really fun to watch.  One of the members was even playing a cumbus ukulele  I couldn’t believe it.  I mean an instrument that would seem more ethnic and traditional used in a rock band.  It was very cool.  I went home that night with their new CD, and was looking on line about how I could get me one too.  My husband was joking that I was addicted.  He was right.  I loved it.

There is not much you can do… Some people are born with a gift of music and to them everything just seems to come natural. Other people study music for many years and they still will still not be able to achieve the same level of artistry. This is the case with basically every artistic profession, such as acting, film directing, writing etc. Once there was a cellist called Jacqueline du Pre, who could be described as one of those very rare and special performers, who are one of a kind and who will always remain in the hearts of the people who had the privilege to hear her. Jacqueline du Pre has left us much too early, but thankfully there are a number of recording and videos that are left behind, for many generations to enjoy.

You Can Get South Pacific Tickets!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

In case you thought the South Pacific show at Vivian Beaumont in Lincoln Center is sold out, you are not mistaken.  It surely is.  This show sells out months in advance.  However, if you are going to be in New York the date of one of the showings, you can still purchase Premium Tickets for the hit Broadway Show South Pacific from an online broker and get the tickets mailed to you via Federal Express.  Further, you could just arrange to have the tickets picked up at the center when you show up.  They will save them there for you.  This is a great option if you really want to see a show and know it’s sold out.

Top Notch Wedding Photographer

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

One of the most important things for us when we were planning our wedding was to have something to remember the occasion by and photographs were the obvious choice. We searched around, eventually finding a wedding photographer in West Yorkshire who was prepared to go a bit out of his way for us, and the results completely blew us away. The service we received was top notch. He was friendly, very professional, and sensitive to our needs. He even managed to make the weather look good in our photos!We are so happy with our photos. They have pride of place in our new home, and we cannot thank our photographer enough for all his effort.

Great Guitarists And Great Songs.

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

If asked, what are some of the coolest guitar hero songs you can think of?

For me, I have many. And this is not because I’m a guitar player and tend to pay more attention. I just love great guitarists playing great songs.

The following would be on my short list:

1) Eric Johnson: ‘Cliffs of Dover’

2) Eddie Van Halen: ‘Eruption’

3) John Mayer: ‘Neon’

4) Joe Satriani: ‘Surfin with the Alien’

5) Larry Carlton: The solo in ‘Kid Charlemagne’

Of course these are just the tip of the iceberg. My shelves are full of great guitar songs by great players.

Choose yours.

Internet Watercolor Painting Search

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I was surfing the web yesterday, looking for a site to buy affordable original art for our new apartment. I was absolutely amazed at the amount of watercolor paintings for sale. There were literally hundreds of sites selling art works, some by galleries and some by individual artists. I looked at paints for hours and barely scratched the surface. I did decide that I don’t care for the abstract or still life pieces. I think that I am zeroing in on some type of landscape painting. I’ll have to pass my favorites by my husband and see if any of them are appealing to him. If we can agree on one artist, we can move on to finding a specific watercolor painting to purchase.

Great Site

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

I was just recently contemplating what I was going to get for my next tattoo and I was just stumped as to what I should get. I had a great place that I wanted something done but I had changed my mind a couple of times over the course of a month. I finally found a great site that listed a variety of tattoo designs and I was able to peruse the different designs, where they looked best on different body parts and of course then how they would look best on me. I was grateful for this site and I have not changed my mind about my current design.

Should I get an angel tattoo?

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

I am trying to decide what would be a good tattoo for me. I would like to get one, but it is hard to choose between all the different options. I don’t want to get anything that would embarrass me in the future, so I am putting a lot of thought into it before I make my final decision. Right now I am leaning toward choosing one of the angel tattoos that I have seen. I don’t think that would embarrass me in the future. I think I want to get one of the more religious ones rather than one that is just very cutesy.

Marty Kudelka - Justin’s Choreographer

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

As far as choreographers are concerned they’re only as big as the stars they’ve choreographed. And if the stars they choreograph have amazing dance moves, the choregrapher’s star will rise as well.

Well one of Justin Timberlake’s choroegraphers’s star is certainly rising. Marty Kudelka has been a choreographer for Justin Timberlake including his ‘My Love’ music video and is held in high regard by many dancers around the world.

In fact Marty worked as a dance teacher for a long time before he got his break. Although he still teaches dance classes every now and again, with all the choreographing he doesn’t have as much time these days. Expect to see more of his choreography in future.

A Street Dance Class In London Is So Easy To Find!

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I’ve been to many places around the world and also within the UK. One of the things I love about London is that it’s so easy to find dance classes. In particular street dance classes are easy to find.

You’d probably expect this of a city like London where every culture is catered for and can learn just about any skill that you want. The London dance scene is certainly very vibrant and it’s not difficult to connect with other dancers either. Finding a street dance class in London is easy, just type it into Google and whoop, you get a gazillion results.

Even when you travel just a few cities away though, you have trouble just finding one good street dance class - and that’s if they’re any at all! I hope I never have to stay away from London for long. 

Qualities of a Great Wedding Photographer

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

There are many qualities which set a great wedding photographer apart from someone who is simply going through the motions. When we were looking for a wedding photographer for our destination wedding, we could tell right away who took their craft to a whole new level. One quality of a great photographer is that they meet with you before the day of the actual wedding. A Coventry wedding photographer who is experienced knows that getting to know the couple first, will help to make the wedding day go more smoothly. Also, taking some pictures before the big day can really help everyone to feel more relaxed and can make the wedding pictures turn out incredibly.
