goNOW Party
Add comment March 3rd, 2008
Were you there? I’ve got to tell you that the goNOW Party that was held at the N. Alpine Meg’s Daily Grind on February 29 was amazing. If I understand correctly the holding capacity for Meg’s was something like 46 but I’d say about 100 people came through those doors between 7 and 11. For a while there it was standing room only. The point here is that it was a packed house and I know Mike Honson, Â Mark Maffioli, and I appreciated the turnout and sincerely hope that all of those in attendance enjoyed themselves. Having been involved in it personally I need to (want to) thank the goNOW and the Rockford Register Star for allowing something like this to happen and I hope that the success of this event will breed similar events. I learned something that Friday as well - Mark Maffioli is really good. I’ve already known that Mike Honson was great and he affirmed that fact once again with his sets…poor guy had a sore throat but really, you couldn’t tell. It was good to see all of you there and I hope to see you in the future. Please be sure to check out Mike and Mark on their myspace pages. myspace.com/mikehonsonmusic & myspace.com/markmaffioliandfriends
A couple months ago, it would have been hard to imagined NBC’s much-hyped Lipstick Jungle triumphing when ABC’s painfully-similar series Cashmere Mafia already had a head-start. Fortunately, Lipstick is a superior series is almost every way. Focusing on three of New York’s most powerful women (Brooke Shields, Kim Raver and Lindsay Price), Lipstick Jungle matches its heart with humor found in fast-paced and refreshing dialogue as well as dynamic and unpredictable characters. Lipstick Jungle also carries a supporting cast every bit as accomplished as the leads, including Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files), Julian Sands (Rose Red) and Andrew McCarthy (Pretty in Pink), lending a sense of balance ABC’s Cashmere Mafia otherwise lacked. Lipstick is one of the few shows of television that lives up to its hype. Catch Lipstick Jungle on NBC Thursdays at 9:00 P.M.
