This morning, I surprised myself by waking up at the crack of dawn and heading downtown Ypsilanti for The Color Run. When my friends told me, I was intrigued. When I saw the website & promo video, I got a little hype. And… When I arrived on the scene, I was surprised, no overwhelmed to […]

I was on my way to a show in NYC when I spotted her. I said “hot shades.” She repeatedly shouted back. “Resurrection! Resurrection! Resurrection!” She was quite excited and animated.
