Won't you help me Beckon Lovely, Houston?

Posted by Monica Danna on Mar 28, 2009 in arts + events, video

I first heard about Amy Krause Rosenthal from my friend, and uber talented photog, Karen Walrond. Karen showed me the following video last week, and then shared with me that the creator of this video will be in Houston this Tuesday, to recreate the event here.  Rosenthal created the video as an experiment to follow her video 17 Things I Made

I triple dog dare you to watch this video and not feel a little twinge of something. Anything. Lovely.


Please help me spread the word.  And hope to see you there on Tuesday to help beckon lovely. Because there can never be enough lovely in the world.

WHERE: Blue Willow Bookshop, 14532 Memorial Drive (phone: 281.497.8675)
WHEN: Tuesday March 31st, 6:00-7:00 pm
WHO: Nice, interesting people like you
WHY: To feel like wow, that was an exceptionally well-spent hour
WHY NOT: Exactly.

Video: The Calm After the Storm.

Posted by Monica Danna on Sep 17, 2008 in in the news, personal, video

Lego sandwiches, Mardi Gras Beads, rising bayous, and overturned umbrellas. All will be in my memories of “hunkering down” for Hurricane Ike.

Thanks to Fayza and Michelle for keeping me entertained. To Dad for keeping the generator running, to Matt and Danny for the BEER, to Jill and Heather for cooking, to Pam for the peach cobbler cooked on the BBQ pit! And to mom for putting up with all of us under one roof for 3 days. and 4 dogs!! Getting nervous again just thinking about it!Note: Mom and Dad got power back yesterday morning!

I totally rode a camel today.

It was pretty dark, so the pics and video didn’t come out that well. But, dude, I totally rode a camel.

Smoking tha hookah

Posted by Monica Danna on Mar 4, 2008 in travel, video

After taking us to ride camels today, our Saudi agent, and excellent volunteer tour guide, Mohammed, took us to his favorite hookah restaurant.

I had never toked the Hookah before, so Bryan and Mohammed were fine making fun of teaching me. Hey, it’s not as easy as it looks.

Still no sign of Jacko

Posted by Monica Danna on Mar 2, 2008 in travel, video

Ok, so my Bahrain mission to find the King of Pop has proven fruitless. However, I did find a hilarious You Tube video of a Filipino prison choreographing Thriller.

Today one of our Saudi agents for the show took us to the Bahrain Fort. The site is believed to have been constructed around 2800 BC, and is subsequently overlaid by various fortified settlements. The last was built during the 16th century to defend recent acquisition of Portugal. The Bahrain Fort is also known as the Portuguese Fort, due to this reason.

Tomorrow: camel rides!

Some pics and video of the Fort: (sorry in advance for the wonky camera work on the video.)
