    Take Action

    Celebrity Sightings

    • Christina Applegate and Chole Sevigny
      at the BWE 100th episode party. They are both so blonde. That color blonde that does not exist in real life but only with chemical enhancement. They're beautiful though.
    • Melba Moore
      in the airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We smiled at each other over Nescafe (aka coffee).
    • Parker Posey
      at Murray's Bagels. She looked really punk rock.
    • Jessica Lange and Sam Shephard
      at A History of Violence at Cinema Village. They were so cute and followed us everywhere from the movies to Cedar Tavern and back to the movies. They probably thought we were following them.
    • Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe
      pushing their baby down 13th Street. I was having a meeting at Cosi around the corner from my overcrowded office. I looked out the window and there they were. They stopped in front of my window and were doing the, who should take the baby conversation. I was trying to listen to the person talking to me but I could not and she was not the type of person who would understand my distraction by these celebs. They are both really attractive but almost too much so. His sneakers were new. His jeans were new. It was weird. I like imperfection.
    • Joshua Redman
      running on 18th Street. I realized that I've seen him many times before and just did not realize it. He was smaller than I thought he's be but I guess most people are.
    • Patti Smith
      which was not a big deal to me but my friend Marina apparently sees her all the time. This was her fourth sighting. I said she should say something like, "I see you everywhere. We should hang out." Marina wouldn't take the bait.
    • Leonardo DiCaprio
      with Isha on our way to the PATH station on 9th Street and 6th Ave. He is very tall but as my friend says, one cheeseburger away from being fat. His bodyguard "subtely" was wearing a jogging suit next to him. I guess they exercise together. He wasn't so hot to me but another girl flipped out when she saw him so what do I know.
    • Sam Rockwell and Liev Schreiber
      on New Year's Eve but you gotta buy me a few drinks to hear that story.
    • John Turturro
      in Union Square looking tall and handsome. I’ve always had a strange little crush on him.

    A Doc I Worked On

    Btv001If you guys are not out partying on a Wednesday night, you should check out a doc that I worked on called Beyond The Steps: The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater tonight on PBS' Great Performances. I have not mentioned it much here because you never know what you can talk about on the old blog without folks gettin sensitive. Anyway, it is about the new era of the company under the helm of Judith Jamison. The film chronicles their trip to Russia to perform their new dance, Love Stories.

    I was Line Producer for the film. (For all those interested in what that means, I helped get the crew to Russia for the shoot, field produced one shoot day, helped find archival photos and footage and helped coordinate post production. Some of these job are typical line producer duties. Some are not. Now you know.) I am biased but I have to say that I think it is a beautiful portrait of some amazing artists. Let me know what you think if you get a chance to check it out.

    I was smiling during the entire piece. It was brilliantly shot...all of it. Especially the part when the company was at the airport. :) The dance was beautiful. The best thing about this film was that I felt like I was watching the dance piece in a way I never could, even if I saw it live. Kudos, girl. This is a great piece.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. I've always been a huge fan of Alvin Ailey and his vision.
