VOTE VOTE VOTE!!
Hi Guys! A few weeks ago, I received an email from a woman who works for a PR company looking for brands to provide gifts/products for a celebrity party. I shy away from that form of advertising but I always appreciate being included so, as a rule, of course I wrote back. Out of the blue a week later, she sent me an email recommending to me that I enter this America’s Favorite Small Business contest being held by Microsoft/Mastercard/Dell for a huge prize.
I looked over the rules Thursday night, made a plan on Friday, put together the video all day Saturday and then entered it on Sunday as the contest closed. It makes me cringe to re-watch it because it’s so horrifyingly honest and unabashedly corny. However, it’s all true, my mom seems to like it and the contest people picked it as a finalist so I guess it’s not all that bad.
Anyway, the contest goes on for a month and anyone can vote once per day without singing up for an account. If you’re able to vote even just once, I’d really appreciate it. If you’re able to vote everyday, you deserve some sort of prize that we’ll flesh out later. (Feel free to email me if you want a daily reminder: kw@wintercheckfactory.com)
Here’s the link and my company is Wintercheck Factory.
Before I send this off to Myparentswereawesome, let me just say for the record: MY PARENTS WERE AWESOME. And also maybe hippie bank robbers?
Not only is Jim Parsons the loveliest human ever, he’s in a show I’m obsessed with, The Normal Heart. It just won some Tonys n stuff.
At a press preview for the new Cirque du Soleil show, and I’m confused already. Pretty stoked to see what a Pickled Funeral is all about though.
UPDATE: Pickled Funeral: super gross. It was just like a gigantic projection of a baby with many many arms that looked like it was floating in a vat of formaldehyde and sang a creepy song.
The acrobatics were effin sick though.

Take a look at the Library’s locks - within our extensive collections, we have locks of hair from literary giants, including Charlotte Bronte and Mary Shelley (pictured). Shelley’s hair is in our new exhibit at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (opening Saturday - come see it) but we have many other examples in our collections. Apparently, it was common back in the day for folks to send each other their hair. Our friends at Flavorwire wrote all about it.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Here’s a video that I did! I haven’t watched it, you know, personally, because it makes me way too nervous, but that shouldn’t stand in the way of you fine people enjoying it! And upping the number of clicks it gets so I look brilliant and effective! It’ll be totally worth it, Sutton Foster is totes charming.
