Rolling Stone's Sheffield Gives Us Another Great List

I love reading writer Rob Sheffield's work in RS—comments on pop culture, TV reviews, etc. This month, on RollingStone.com, he's given me a list that I will return to again and again to rejoice in iconic moments of pure hilarity, joy, shock and awe, including some of my very favorites from my idol, Cameron Crowe.  Thanks, Rob for this fab list!

An imPERFECT City Grows in Wilmo

I'll give you a full article on the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts' current exhibit, imPERFECT CITY, which will appear in the April issue of Out & About mazgaine. (Be sure to pick that up on March 31 at your favorite restaurant or retailer in the Wilmington area.)

For now, though, imPERFECT CITY rolls on as beds of greens, fruit and herbs in the latest piece of the interactive exhibit that's growing...literally. Check out the details below on the micro-farm project!

A Wilmo Arts Supporter Turns 25

I've been a Wilmingtonian for 20 years, and a die-hard lover and supporter of all things fun, lively, artsy and nightlife-y in our fair city (and our State).  The folks at Out & About magazine have me beat.
 
The magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary this month, with a fabulous celebration issue that's as much forward-looking as it is retrospective.  It's a fun walk through the magazine's history here, but also shows how much we've accomplished and what we can still do in the years ahead.

Check it out here...and maybe read the tiny article about 25 years of the Arts in Wilmo while you're at it.  You might recognize the author.
