Lots going on this week. Before we get to the POW….Remember you still have time to win two tickets to the premiere of Blankenship Cabaret Theatre on Saturday, March 31st taking place at the Blankenship Ballet Ballroom at the Alexandria in downtown LA. See Upcoming Page for more details about the show.

All you have to do is find me at any event, to find out the code phrase. We have been doing it since last week….so many people met me for the first time dressed in green for St Paddy’s Day last Saturday. Ok…so I am a bit quirky!

OK, back to the Pick of the Week….
