Dan just taped his first One Hour Special for Comedy Central, receiving a standing ovation after performing 65+ minutes of new material to a sold out house at the Bing Crosby Theater in Spokane, Washington.

This special is a follow up to his popular half-hour special, Comedy Central Presents Dan Cummins, which was voted the 3rd favorite 1/2 hour special in Comedy Central Present’s history by fans in the 2009 Stand Up Show Down. That 1/2 hour was made possible by Dan’s initial appearance on the first series of Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham”, where one of Dan’s jokes was not only used to advertise his episode, but Read the rest of this entry »

Gerla is a big fan of color and her beads are pretty enough to wear alone on a simple chain or bracelet, but they are even better in a set. Each bead is a tiny work of art made by Read the rest of this entry »

ROCKBOX is a dance party. Pure and Simple. The triumvirate of DJ KEZ (KBOO, THE FIX), Matt Nelkin (KPSU), and Dundiggy (THE FIX) play a masterfully blended mix of fun, dance oriented Hiphop, R&B, and Old School Electro with a dash of Bmore, Dancehall, 80s, and House thrown in for good measure.

As die-hard record collectors all three Dj’s play exclusively vinyl. Every set and every ROCKBOX dance party is a custom experience with these cats digging into their seemingly bottomless crates to pull out the beats that make you want to sweat out the work week. More than just another gig for these talented three, ROCKBOX dance party represents their long held vision of merging the classics alongside the progressive.

A short time ago in a bar not too far away . . . there was a period of trivial war. One team prevailed, but the battles continue. Now is your chance for redemption.

May the force be with you on Wednesday as you battle for intergalactic and geek dominance. Leia slave costumes and Harrison Ford look-a-likes encouraged but not required.
