The NUTCRACKER


The Nutcracker Ballet, a very talented performance of ballet-


This wonderful story is of a young girl's dream the night before Christmas. She travels to distant lands of Exotic Russian dancing dolls, Sweet Sugarplum Fairies, and a sword fighting Giant Nutcracker and Rat!

As a young ballerina growing up in the Northwest, my father would take me to the Pacific Northwest Ballet company’s performance of the Nutcracker. My inspiration grew as a dancer and at the age of 12, I was once casted in our hometown’s local Nutcracker performance as my favorite- a Sugarplum Fairy! I liked the Sugarplum’s dresses more then Clara’s old-Pj’s she had to dance in…hahah! Not only do the ballet dancers swirl your eyes around the stage with colors of lush reds, deep blues, and golden ordainment sparkles, and the soft white of the snow falling at night, but the music of the Nutcracker ballet is dazzling to your ears as waking up on Christmas morning as a child to a colorful tree filled with gifts and family JOY.

Truly, this performance should hold tradition in each family’s Holiday Spirits and adventures to dreams of distant lands of Sugarplum dancing fairies & sword fighting Nutcrackers.

BLIPS IN TIME- photography by Paul Hunnicutt.

pAUL hUNNINCUTT photography














Paul Hunicutt's photographs capture those moments of light that only occur between seconds and thus are practically invisible. These moments of time are blurred-

The moments or seconds- if you will, we cannot experience independently or at the pace captured in the photographs created by Mr. Hunnicutt, but as a collective theses seconds make up our everyday moments. Such as, a moving train or light hitting brushed steal in a sunlit hallway.

I was going about my routine morning coffee shop stop in downtown Boulder CO at one of my three favorite cafes, when I paused in my easy-breezing in and out To Go cup of coffee pick up to notice the shift in light in the space created by these photographs. AMAZING!!!!This is what art should do for us- it should shift our perceptions of a space, time, person, or thing. Hunnicutt has done just this. - Truly a glimpse into one person's talent that is shifting/pausing seconds and moments in time seen through light with a contemporary eye/style, medium and completeness in his works.

Art on the Shores

Jim Denevan
(click for more images/info)
Upon first site of Jim's works I was startled by the massiveness of the pieces. A good friend of mine passed his information onto me and I was taken by the beauty of the shorelines and shrillness of Jim's addition to nature. After a good few days of pondering what it is that I believe in these works, I came across this: The viewing gallery for his works is larger than most in the sense that from a far the pieces need to be viewed through incorporating the tide, shoreline and creation or design by the artist. On the flip side, as the viewer is walking along the beach the pieces are experienced out of relativity to the "larger picture" of incorporating it's surroundings to make the composition whole.

LA indie band singer hits it big with depressing songs about breaking up.....oh wait someone is depressed in LA...WOW- big surprise there.
The band's hit song Sometime Around Midnight has an amazing instrumental sound quality I haven't heard since early U2 when I was a child sitting in the front seat of the mini-van with my dad on our way to go skiing.

This past September of 2008, Thievery Corporation geared up and released their fifth independent studio album, Radio Retaliation. Radio Retaliation hits on political music of groups like the Clash, Public Enemy, and Fela Kuti- this could be Thievery Corporation’s most progressive album yet. The album brings to life many socio-political messages largely absent from today’s popular music.
