This a review for the Improv Classes only. This is my story. I signed up for the Improv 101…read moreclasses. This was all new to me. Thought it would be fun. I live in the rural area outside of Minneapolis, so I drove 40 minutes to enjoy fun and create comedy with other non-comedy people. Other average people. Not what happened. Let me explain... This is all new to me. So, during one of the warm-up exercises. It was the one-word poem exercise. Sounds cool. The fours words leading up to me, were, "The"..."Cows"... "Were"... "Making"... Which then left me to think up a word that kept the poem alive... I picked the word "Whoopie". The room stopped. 3 to 4 people in the group, which told me that the word Whoopie was inappropriate, and I needed to change the word choice right away. They all had urgency in their voices... I was taken aback... What? My word "Whoopie" caused you to stop everything? I was only doing what felt natural. I was told by 4 people that my improv was wrong. I needed to change my word choice. WTF? Really? Whoopie? Woke people are everywhere. They stand and make you feel shamed into thinking just like them. No more free expression. All this shaming because of the word Whoopie? If you're thinking of taking Improv classes at Comedy Sportz. Read what I've experienced and go if you want. I'm totally off this group. Nothing personal Comedy S, your people are too judgmental of everyone outside their circle. I said the word, WHOOPIE? REALLY? I'll keep telling everyone how your people shamed the heck out of me that night at class. I'm hurt. TD Riggs Comedian. P.S. I did talk to the class teacher later during break. He didn't seem to care. The second half of the class, those same people talked comedy about mating with animals and breeding to make animal children. What? Bestiality is OK, but Whoopie isn't? Run far away from the hypocrisy of these classes, less you want to become them. lol. Hated the feeling they gave me.

Oh wow. I know some people won't appreciate the state of this theatre…read more It really is not updated, and I really like that. Man, it brings me back to the days at Carmike theatres and I can't even put into words how much I appreciate being brought back in time like that. Sure, there is a bunch of things that could use fixing up and more of the areas could be fixed or cleaned, but I was never expecting to be placed in essentially a time capsule. Against what others probably feel, I hope they keep it like this, maybe update a few things, but keep the retro vibe.

We attended another concert at Bethel University and were impressed again with the caliber of the…read morestudent-performers of the Wind Symphony. This was a joint concert with Wheaton Academy in Chicago; and each group had its own pieces as well as joint pieces they did with one another. There was a wide variety of songs - many of which were new to me. The Wind Symphony director took time to give insight into the pieces which added to the understanding and appreciation of what we were listening to during the concert. We appreciated that the concert was recorded and that we could listen to it again at home. Hearing the concert with headphones at home made it possible to hear individual instruments - like the harp and grand piano. These instruments were such wonderful parts to the Wind Symphony; and hopefully will be highlighted more in future concerts. We are looking forward to hearing the next concert that the Bethel University Department of Music offers.

I tried to capture my fav piece by walking a video around it but the video just doesn't do it justice. You must see in person. I worked for West Publishing when Mr Cafesjian was an executive there so I have some familiarity with his love of art. It's hard to imagine some of these pieces being part of his home. Such beauty to view everyday. The museum is open to the public but you need to make a reservation at the set times. The guide is very knowledgeable and spends about 20 minutes talking then walks around the museum answering your questions. She was wonderful and a nice addition to the tour.

This past year (Winter of 2017) I first heard about the Seattle Lantern Light Festival. I'm not…read moresure if the festival was at the Puyallup Fair Grounds before but last winter was the first I heard about it. I have been to a lantern festival about a year or two prior in Spokane and really enjoyed it and so when I heard this one on the radio I jumped at the opportunity to go see it. On top of that this particular festival was much closer so that also made it too hard to pass up. This particular festival was held from November 24th and would have ended around the beginning of January but the festival was so popular the dates were extended to January 14th. The festival started within this time period everyday at 5 p.m. and ended at 10 p.m. on weekdays, 11 p.m. on weekends. I believe some nights towards the end of the opening hours they would set off fireworks as well. There were many similarities to the Spokane lantern festival and it seemed like some of the lanterns I saw at this festival I saw at the Spokane one but there were many other lanterns that were new to me as well. Not only that, at this festival there were performers as well, acrobats specifically which proved to be highly entertaining. There are other activities as well like inflatable buildings to play in, face painting and other activities. This festival also had a market or vendor type section as well where there was a lot of lighted merchandise your could buy, t-shirts, sweatshirts and more artistic vendors that did elaborate and detailed paintings all made with their fingers and hands. There were also other artistic vendors as well but the finger painter is what we found to be really impressive! There was food served here as well but it wasn't terribly authentic. It was the typical vendors that are there when you go to the county fair. But that all may have been during the time we went. The website says they do have authentic food somewhere there. I really do hope that this particular lantern festival returns for future years to come. I got a lot of enjoyment out of it and love taking in the bright, vivid colors of the lanterns as you stroll around in the dark. Tickets for adults for this festival are $23 and children tickets are $18. There are also other ticketing packages as well by checking out their website.
