Queens Of Angels Art Fair - SunnysideJune 13, 2010 / Sunnyside / QueensBuzz. I just returned from a very diverse and interesting Queen Of Angels Art Fair in Sunnyside. This is the year it seems everything went rather well, with the exception of a few warm raindrops near the end of the day. I enjoyed the show a bit more this year because they opened up the room so that one could see across the entire room from any angle. This not only helped ventillate the show but also provided for a more interesting experience in terms of crowd watching, while enabling one to view the art from many different angles. And food and wine were served, like on my last visit, adding to the overall art and dining experience.

Unity Stage Company - Six Cylinder LoveOld Script Strikes Contemporary ChordSunnyside / June 3, 2010. Unity Stage Company opens Six Cylinder Love on Thursday, June 3rd. I had the opportunity to preview the play the night before the opening. I went into the review quite skeptical, perhaps because the name of the play just didn't resonate with me. Nor did some of the descriptions I'd read beforehand. It sounded too old and too corny to be of interest. While everything during the dress rehearsal wasn't quite perfect, there was a lot in this production that made it incredibly relevant to the very times we live in today. The professional cast did a superb job of bringing the characters and themes to life, and I later discovered that this play was written by playwright William McGuire who had won the 1936 Academy Award for Best Picture. |

St Pat's For All Parade PhotosSt Pat's Day Parade Growing In StatureSunnyside / March 8, 2010. By all accounts the St Pat's Day Parade in Sunnyside and Woodside was a big success. We estimate that on this fine day the audience count was easily in the thousands [two to three thousand is our estimate]. This was significantly up verus last year, quite possibly due to the nice sunny weather which included temperatures in the fifties, although there was a cool breeze. The St Pat's For All Parade in Sunnyside and Woodside has been in existence for eleven years now. It's interesting to note that the parade legacy only goes back little more than a decade, given that Sunnyside and Woodside were considered the Irish sections of Queens for the better part of the last century. The parade began out of a controversy in the late nineties. The Manhattan St Pat's Day Parade forbid non-heterosexuals to march in their New York City parade.

Illusion Or Reality?Fun Photography Exhibit At Topaz Arts - WoodsideMay 8, 2010 / Woodside / Queens Buzz. I visited Topaz Arts Saturday night to view the new photographic exhibit that opened tonight with a reception. I met the artist, Satomi Shirai, a long lithe Japanese woman who’d arrived on our shores some six years ago. She’s currently working on her MFA [Masters of Fine Arts] at Hunter College in Manhattan and her photography is currently being featured by Topaz as a one woman show. I wandered the gallery, perusing her work. The exhibit includes about ten, large framed photographs; thoughtfully chosen and carefully placed for the show. On my own, I couldn’t really figure out what she doing with her work, so I asked her to help me understand by commenting on it.

Woodside FDNY Memorial ServiceEngine 325 & Ladder 163 Remember FallenApril 17, 2010 / Woodside / Queens Buzz. Today I attended a memorial service dedicated to the men of the Woodside Fire Station who lost their lives in the line of duty. The service was held at St Sebastian’s Roman Catholic Church in Woodside. There were about one hundred people in attendance, most of whom appeared to have some connection with the firemen. The service was given by FDNY chaplin, Father John Delendick in collaboration with Father Gerard Sauer from St Sebastian’s. Two firemen did readings prior to the chaplin’s sermon.
