Diva LaVida – Burlesque

Episode 41 – Diva & the Search for the Perfect Bloody Mary Pt12 ThomAss Edison start a new brunch list by checking out Osteria Langhe.  Perhaps the brunch standard has been set too high by our previous adventures, but we were underwhelmed.  Lots of good effort with less good execution, but there we a great negroni, so that’s better than nothing.  Onward and onward.

Episode 40 – Diva & the Search for the Perfect Donut Pt1 ThomAss Edison and I finally start the donut list we’ve been talking about for months.  We had delicious treats at Glazed and Infused.  This was maybe the happiest I’ve ever seen ThomAss, that’s how good these donuts were.  

Episode 39 – Diva & Lady Lemon Drop at Beaver Creek with Squid Vicious ThomAss Edison and I went to Colorado for a ski weekend.  I got to spend the day with Lady Lemon Drop and Squid Vicious.  We recorded during the daily cookie mob, a ploy to get people off the Beaver Creek Mountain before closing time.  The cookies were delicious and the company was top notch.  It was a great vacation, despite the fact that I slipped on the ice.

Episode 38 – Diva & the Search for the Perfect Bloody Mary Pt11 A plethora of people join me for the end of the ridiculous Bloody Mary saga: Phaedra Black, Cinnamon Twist, Sweet Ginger Rose, the Scientist, and Thom Ass Edison.  We went to Northdown for delicious foods and drinks.  The Grid, the last place on my list, closed before I could get to it, but it all worked out.  We discuss what the next list should be and accidently start just conversing.  Whoops!

Episode 37 – Diva & the audience at Lady Date Live at the Den Theater When I started Lady Date, I never imagined that it could turn into a live show, but I’m so glad it did.  Here is the intro, and outro, from Dec 2014 at the Den Theater, the last of the series.  I don’t cry on the recording, but trust, I got real emotional immediately after.  Thank you so much to everyone who participated, attended, donated, and supported.  Completing this series of live shows, raising money for the Michael J Fox Foundation, and running the San Antonio marathon was genuine dream come true and I could not have done it without all of you.  Cheers!

Episode 36 – Diva & the San Antonio Marathon I joined several family members (Dad, Stevie G, and Julia) for the San Antonio marathon in Dec 2014.  It was a great day, fantastic weather, great crowds, fun bands, awesome course; we could not have asked for a better race.  I consider San Antonio my home town, and getting to run it with my family was a true delight.  I had been wanting to do this race for years, and I’m so happy to have had this experience.
