Creative Mornings turns 3

Creative Mornings is celebrating it's 3rd birthday this week + wow look has much it has grown. What started as a humble 50-person event at Studiomates in 2009 has grown into a 17-chapter global adventure! (now including Vancouver but not Toronto - yet!) If I could zip around the world this month I'd love to listen to Olimpia Zagnoli in Milan and Kate Bingaman Burt in Oregon.

Stephen Sondheim

Stephen Sondheim. No words for how I feel about this guy.

I'm painting a mural this afternoon and when I do I need to listen to intense broadway tunes!
Just found this BBC Sondheim celebration on You tube. I can never ever listen to his lyrics and not cry. Especially from Sunday and the Park with George.
"Look I made a hat... where there never was a hat." Killer.
