01 May TIO NYC: “Vanity Fair,” Not Fair, Excellent
“Vanity Fair,” a major hit, just extended its run again, this time through May 27, 2017, at the Pearl Theatre. GO! Tickets here. The little man with a big ego and major complex seems to have stepped out of history and appears to be ubiquitous. Strange, but...
01 May TIO Boston: Botticelli
Clams on the half shell. Meh. Babes? Now we are talking. Specifically we are talking about Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, nicknamed, Sandro Botticelli (“Little Barrel”) and his most famous painting, ‘The Birth of Venus.” The iconic image is a celebration of human desire, one of the...

16 Apr TIO Pensacola: A Marine Returns
An important (to me) part of our epic cross-country trip during this Spring’s off-season in Telluride was a three-night stay in Pensacola, Florida, home of Pensacola Naval Air Station. My routing might cause some to question my navigation skills, but to me it made sense....
15 Apr TIO NYC: Icons, O’Keeffe + Konitz
“Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern,” at the Brooklyn Museum through July 23. Go here to learn more about the jazz club, Mezzrow. As a pioneering modernist painter and feminist icon, the lady was OK. Literally. She was Georgia O’Keeffe. Out of the gate (circa 1916) one of...
