Does Net Neutrality Loss = The New Ghetto
As a growing small media company owner, some of you know of my involvement in lobbying for Net Neutrality, which is the continued absence of regulation in regards to the Open Internet and something everyone should agree on and embrace. This critical issue will be decided, as called by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.

Creek Creez followed by Creek Crawl/Easter in the Park
After weeks of sad sack Mildred Pierce, I’m only half kidding when I say, there comes a time when competing with adorable kids and dogs just becomes too much competition because, dammit, my Easter Bonnet is just too fabulous!
Luckily Easter in the Park or Creek Crawl if you celebrate Passover, got so large by the Pooch Parade’s success, the Turtle Creek Association has added a 2nd event this weekend called Creek Craze. It includes a concert with Eddie Coker, Easter Egg Rolls and a Pet Costume Contest, face painting and balloon animals for children. Groups or individuals can have photographs taken with a live bunny for a fee. Award-winning deejay Jennifer Miller along with fellow deejay Paul Parades will keep things spinning while local band Alebrije will be playing tunes during the afternoon. Local restaurants will be on-site offering specialty fare, including beer, wine and margaritas.

The Three Drummers
After accompanying my sister to the Across the Street Bar off Greenville for a circle community drum jam, I’m looking forward to the intoxicating rhythmic art by three women drummers in a highlight concert of jazz, funk and gospel that will feature popular drummers Danielle Pockett (shown), Quita, and Tymeshia in a concert entitled Women in Rhythm at the Dallas Convention Center Complex. Because each of the women are proficient soloists as well as accompanists, the show usually sells out and is a favorite of local musicians.

In fact, the earrings she designed for Michelle Obama (see inset) for the Inaugural Ball in 2009 are now safely on display in the Smithsonian.

In conjunction with their current exhibit, adults and children of all ages have an opportunity to get in touch with their inner Spanish Muse by playing games and engaging in hands-on gallery games including collages, scavenger hunts and building sculptures on the plaza. Focusing on contemporary artists currently on display in the museum, the games are aimed at helping children connect the mental dots of art through touch, play and their own creations.
An Editorial
Can NPR Survive? Not as we know it and that's a good thing...
Let’s face it, million dollar business deals with television stations don’t happen overnight so why is anyone surprised the comment made by Juan Williams on NPR, to the overnight contract with FOX, was probably a well executed plan between Fox and Williams. Hey that’s business, right? Is NPR the unwitting fall guy? Sure, but that wasn’t hard.
For a long time, they haven’t been rational in how they operate in the reality of cable television, internet radio and new media? And let’s face it, they fell from their mission more than a decade ago. Can it be saved? “You betcha”! But they will have to accept only parts of it will survive assuming they put the National back in National Public Radio. If they do, we need to get behind and make sure 110% of its funding comes from private funding rather than 98% so we don’t risk losing it and the television component, well…it needs to be retired.
