It’s always bittersweet to see October come to and end, but I had such a blast doing multiple fun spooky season things all month long.

Spent the weekend in Chicago for Riot Fest. An absolute incredible lineup of artists and fans all coming together for the love of music and political/social causes that are just as unifying.

Spent the weekend indulging in two amazing theaters in St. Louis, one staging a rare one-act opera about Josephine Baker and another staging a new musical that hasn’t even made it to Broadway yet. The incredible arts scene is another reason why I love STL.

From a cabin stay to Nashville travels to soaking in the local arts, May was filled to the brim with inspiring moments. My cup runneth over.

NYC treated me well.
I did not do the same to my liver.
Some of my favorite places I enjoyed libations on the trip.

I had heard nothing but glowing reviews, and yet “OH MARY!” still surpassed my expectations. I can’t wait to see it get showered with Tony Awards, because it’s all too deserving. A wonderful start to a solo birthday trip to NYC.

First NBA game for me did not disappoint. An incredible atmosphere and the cherry on top was an overtime for the hometown boys. This LA trip is off to a good start.

RIP to an absolute legend of cinema

In honor of Twin Peaks Day, decided to start a rewatch again. I love this weird and wonderful world so much. 🦉☕️

Happy Season Opener @stlcitysc.com
Ready for tonight 🧣💪

Cold, snowy nights are perfect for winter ghost stories and wine.

I saw an early screening of COMPANION on Tuesday night and was blown away by it. Extremely entertaining with razor-sharp satire. Here’s my longer review from @letterboxd.social

It was fantastic to meet and hear Grady Hendrix last night. He delivered an absolutely incredible presentation on the history of women labeled as witches and their depiction in pop culture. Both funny and poignant in its reminder of our collective fear of the “other.”

You’ll be greatly missed David Lynch. You leave behind an incredible legacy and beautiful words that we can all learn from regarding the artistic process.

I’m half-tempted to buy a ticket for London just to attend this. Not only Cronenberg will be there, but it will be presented in IMAX 🤯
