So, I am now a NYC theatre critic

I'm currently writing theatre and performing art reviews for examiner.com (which is trying to be a competitor with about.com), I'll mainly be focusing on theatre, but I'll probably branch out into music and such as well. Anyway, if you live in the NYC area, check out some of this stuff.

I can use the page views and I like to think my writing style is pretty entertaining.

Wonderful!

I might be signing a lease of my own in a week or so, if everything goes well. I'm pretty excited about the place I found.

Congrats!

And although I know you're probably really professional, all I can think of is if you see a bad play your review will just be "This play sucked so much I don't want to talk about it. Instead, here's some boobies!"

ROFL HP, you kickass.

JCC: Yeah, but not much. It's mainly an on-the-side thing for extra money.

It should be a lot of fun.
I can't afford to stay up in NoVA, and I loved both my visits, so.. yeah. Plus, the massage school I'm attending has an INCREDIBLE program. :]

This one's about a cat named "Joe Yoga", who, among other things, publishes an underground Zine in NYC called Amuze.

Yeah, Joe kicks ass. He gave me enough stuff in our interview for, like 3 articles. So I'll probably end up reviewing more of his stuff.
