I've been toying around with a new logo/typeface as you can see in the masthead above. Are you for it or against it? Let me know your thoughts in the comments if you have an opinion.

Pantone Unveils Color of the Year for 2010: P15-5519 Turquoise

CARLSTADT, N.J., Dec. 8, 2009 –Pantone LLC... announced PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise, an inviting, luminous hue, as the color of the year for 2010. Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”

Explosive Movment

Gravity
December 17-19, 2009 at 7:30pm
(plus a 2 pm Sat. matinee)
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center
buy tickets »

The push and pull of the Earth's GRAVITY is that force essential to the flow of movement--both physical and musical. This performance is dedicated entirely to the uniquely dynamic and theatrical style of Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen, including the premiere of her latest collaborative work with Copenhagen-based music ensemble FIGURA.

Charlotte will also restage her 2008 work "Interiors" inspired by street art and the work of local artist Trent Call. Of this work SLUG Magazine wrote, "Boye-Christensen's choreography, constructed out of various seductive gestures and daring inversions . . . offered the audience neither the American West nor any instance of Nature but rather Culture as the final frontier."

And Kathy Adams of the Salt Lake Tribune says, "Boye-Christensen's choreography is amazingly complex, and the gestural vocabulary she has developed in combination with her explosive movement style tells a unique story within each piece."

Shoe Shine Extraordinaire

My dear friend Johnny has a masters degree in psychology and was an at risk youth counselor for a number of years until he decided his real passion is shining shoes. He has since found another 'real' job but still does the shoe thing daily so if you ever need your dandy tap booties or anything leather spiffed up and weatherized, give him a call. Johnny does pick up and drop off as well!

Dr. Du-More's Classic Adult Soft Toothbrush

To Dr. Du-More or whomever it may concern,

I fell in love with these short toothbrushes you make a few years ago and can't seem to find them anymore (See attached photo). The shorter, utilitarian handle design paired with an adult sized soft brush head is quite revolutionary in a world of enormous neon hiking staffs called toothbrushes now-a-days. I purchased the first ones I saw at Walmart (don't ask) but they have never returned. Can you tell me if and where I can find them in anything smaller than a carton of 36? That's all I can find on the web and the cost is $50 with shipping. A little steep for tiny toothbrushes don't you think?

Can I buy them directly from you somehow? Do you have samples or back stock you could send me? I really do LOVE them and I only have THREE left! I even posted a review saying so at my website. Anyways, I thought it was worth trying to contact you. If there's anything you can do to help me, please respond post-haste.

Thank you,

Mr. Jesse Walker
