Omaha is located just 180 miles north of Kansas City and you will be pleasantly surprised how wonderful it is.

We have been going to Omaha both on business and personal trips for over 30 years and it really does just keep getting better and better.

Neil Simon's Lost In Yonkers
Theatre By Audrey Linden, West Hollywood, California (Monday, August 25, 2008)

If you saw the movie of Neil Simon's Lost In Yonkers, the play directed by Howard Teichman has added dimensions you won't want to miss.

This Tony and Pulitzer winner set in Yonkers during World War 11 is about a dysfunctional family's struggles, a family that has lost much of the joy, warmth and humanity.

The character of Bella demands that the humanity be found. Lost In Yonkers is not the "Neil Simon as usual" fare ... [full story]

VAJA DELIVERS KEY NOTES @ KEYCLUB
Club Preview by Rick Sandack, West Hollywood, California (Monday, August 25, 2008)

After she rocked the House of Blues this summer with a riveting performance that fans say registered on Caltech’s Seismograph, Vaja (which rhymes with deja, as in deja vu) brings her seismic sound and sultry good looks to the Keyclub on September 8.

The regal rocker, at a statuesque 5’ 9” without heels, flamboyantly decked out in an eye-catching hot pink ensemble, looks like she just stepped out of Vogue magazine or GQ’s favorite chick issue for all the right reasons.

Since moving to LA two years ago from Miami where she was a standout hit at the Ultra Music Festival before 50,000 people at Bayfront Park ... [full story]

Yodok Stories: Film Review
Film By Roy Rogers Oldenkamp, West Hollywood, California (Thursday, August 21, 2008)

Yodok Stories is a difficult, demanding, engrossing and eventually satisfyingly important film that tells its unique story as no other film has done.

Teetering on schizophrenic thought, the documentary recounts the creation of a musical (!) telling of Yodok, a North Korean concentration camp filled with dissidents and their families.

North Korea practices the Rule of Three, in that the perpetrator of anti-government action is removed, as are the generation before him and the generation after... [full story]

Vaja Rocks the House: The House of Blues
Artist Review by Rick Sandack, West Hollywood, California (Monday, August 18, 2008)

Deftly wielding her fire-breathing, PRS Dragon guitar, Vaja (pronounced Vay-jah) delivered a rock solid performance Saturday night at the House of Blues, as part of the club’s “Sunset Strip Music Festival.”

The exotic-looking, head-turning, rock-star-in-training came to LA three years ago by way of Miami “with nothing but a dream” as she says and is methodically and melodically transforming that dream into reality by consistently delivering stellar performances at The Whiskey, The Viper Room, The House of Blues, and soon adding another key club to her hit list with her September 8th engagement at the Key Club.

In her assault on LA’s hyper-kinetic, frenzied music and independently produced record scene, her career got a major jumpstart thanks to Adrian Young, the well-known drummer for the band No Doubt, who had no doubt ... [full story]
