Last Weekend for “Dickinson” – Don’t miss it!

August 1, 2009

Pixel Lava client Lynx Performance Theatre is wrapping up their brilliant run of “Dickinson” the poetically detailed story of young Emily Dickinsen and her struggle to evolve her personal, artistic and sexual identity while battling her inner and outer Demons. The production is a captivating, magical journey presented thru the one night dream of a playwright struggling to write a play worthy of her genius, her poetry and her life story.

This tour de force production and has gotten rave reviews in New York and San Diego. It runs only thru August 7th! Visit the Lynx Performance wesite to read reviews, listen to a play excerpt and get tickets.

” Emily becomes a full force of nature, and boy oh boy does Rhianna Basore bite into the role with the zest of a veteran actor. She is—and I say this without over-hyping my praise—simply magnificent. Her Emily goes from demure to naughty, from athletic to weak, from a pillar of strength to utterly damaged child often within the same beat, and seeing this young actor take the reigns of the play so daringly was inspirational.” – NYTheatre.com

We Heart Blue Host

I love Blue Host. They are a website hosting company located in Orem Utah. After working with GoDaddy, Network Solutions, DotEasy, A+Net, Pair Networks and many others, I really have to say that Blue Host offers just the right balance of ease of use and extended functionality. They are also their own Registrar so they are able to offer complete domain name services alongside hosting. While other companies gouge their customers at $35 a year or more for a simple domain name, Blue Host provides a free primary domain name with every hosting account. Plus you can have up to five sites within one account. Additionally they provide 24/7 phone tech support with friendly, helpful staff who are easy to understand. On top of great service they are also a great value with rates as low as $6.95 per month.

My policy is to only recommend and promote businesses I personally use. After 6 years with Blue Host and over 100 sites hosting I still think they’re terrific. If you are looking for a friendly, easy to use, inexpensive hosting company. Check out Blue Host.
