Flying to Wisconsin for Christmas!

I am leaving for the airport in 30 minutes and feeling both elated and sad. Elated to be with my family for Christmas but sad that Christmas is almost here. December always goes sooooooo fast. Sounds cliche' to say that but...here we are.

Keep checking back to my blog as I will be updating it frequently over the break.

Safe travels to everyone and see you soon!

I also launched a full line of workout DVDs for all fitness levels and ages that have been selling extremely well. I am so proud of the work I have done on this initial offering of fitness DVDs and look forward to expanding and improving every day. I only want to offer the best in personal fitness.

Join me on the quest to improve your health!

Motley Fitness keeps expanding to bring fitness to the bored.

I believe most fitness classes and trends to be very void of passion and vitality. We go through the motions but never make a deep connection with what we are doing so we quickly pitter out...leaving our stab at fitness on the wayside. Most people's lives are cluttered with many different fitness endeavors that start with such energy and determination but lack direction and the deeper connection with your self.

Motley Fitness offers world class workouts. Bottom line. Come to a class. Pop in a DVD. Watch my streaming workouts online. Whatever contact you make with Motley Fitness will be an experience to elevate you on every level. Endless possibilities await us as we take the journey together.

I will continue to dedicate my soul to helping, inspiring, and instructing an overweight, out-of-shape, and complacent populace to their true fitness (and life) potential.

Hundreds of workout videos are in the works to unleash on a fitness deprived world!

Join the Motley Fitness Revolution and live the life you were meant for!

World class fitness DVDs and videos!

Working with my father in my new video series, Pilates for the Mature Gentleman ---------->

I am in the process of planning, filming, editing, producing, and releasing longer, more complex workout videos for the public to gobble up on my new web page: www.motleyfitness.com

These videos will be going in my special paid section of my site where you may pay a small fee and have access to all of these dynamic and effective workouts! I will be doing many different workouts as diverse as our population and all with only a mat underneath.

In the works for next week is an advanced Pilates workout series (3 individual workouts) that will rip and tone your entire body and make you irresistible to all those who are lucky enough to be around you! Every video will have a specific focus but will ALWAYS bring your mind, body, and spirit to the table. Without these components what is the point right? So as hard as you work, as much as you sweat, as much as you groan from exertion with some of these videos you will always feel a release of tension and an elevation of the spirit. Always! That is who I am and what I do. You can thank me for your newly much admired body later (-;

Currently putting together a series of DVDs designed for corporate wellness programs titled, The Motley Wellness Workout. These DVDs will be for any business looking to create healthier, happier, and more productive employees while also lowering the cost of their insurance perhaps. The business can purchase the program and every employee involved in the program will receive a DVD with several workouts (20-30 minutes) which are Yoga and Pilates based. They can perform them at home or together during lunchtime or right after work to build a stronger team. After a short period of time everyone will receive another DVD with progressively more difficult workouts. The workouts progress with the person. More info when the DVDs are finished but I guarantee they will be effective and give your business a huge kick in the butt!

Ditch the two geeks you're with a get in the car with me...

Friends!

Refreshed after taking a yoga class tonight with my favorite yoga instructor Alexis at Celebration Fitness. It is so nice to experience other people's classes and have them tell me what to do for a change. Don't get me wrong...I love telling people what to do (-: Cool to see how someone else's mind works. Great class! Mr. F seal of approval.

Busy, busy, and extremely effective week! Tons of packed classes along with the filming of three new workout videos for people to use to change their lives! Tomorrow I will be filming a new video in my dynamic Pilates Ab Crunch series. These videos are just to exciting to create, film, and distribute! Blessed are we all.

Making a new Pilates mix as I write this (is that possible?) and am going in a more rock/new wave direction. The mixes must be as interesting and dynamic as the classes. Keep it interesting always and extremely effective. If not what is the frickin' point right? To do the same workout each time is worse than death. It is worse than listening to Michael Bolton sing opera. Pretty bad.

Song of the Day: Human by The Human League

Why? Love this song even though it has a terrible Elvis like monologue in the middle. The opening phrases are so pure I can barely stand it and it reminds me of roller skating and falling down every time they turned on the disco ball. It would cast shadows on the floor and I would get confused and fall. Poor Mr. F....

Let's talk Pilates...

~Pilates starts with a "P"

~Men actually benefit more from Pilates than women but are usually intimidated to try. Pity.

~I have taught over 2000 Pilates classes. Trust me...I know what I am doing.

~Pilates has been around for almost 100 years. Happy early Birthday!

Thanks to all who have let me guide you in the glorious exercise methods of Pilates, Yoga, Yoga/Pilates, Spinning, and personal training. I hope and pray that we will have many more years of mind numbing experiences!

Sleep tight.

Thursday report...

Shorter week for me since I was trekking through the mountains of Montana a few days ago. I tell ya this Florida humidity hits you in the face like a shovel when you get off the plane. Enough of that...

I have been neglecting my blog recently because of an increase in my teaching schedule, traveling, and of course my new workout videos that I am producing and designing. All good stuff but the blog is a great place to pass on fitness info, pics, songs, and all sorts of random stuff that run through my mind. As I build and expand my business I want to always be myself and not compromise. That would be sad.

Song of the Day: Two by Ryan Adams

I have heard of Mr. Adams for awhile now but have never listened to his stuff until now. I am currently making a new Pilates mix and using this song plus another called Fix It. I hope the reaction will be near ecstasy! We shall see. I am excited to once again be putting together mixes for classes as it is a very inspiring and visual process. Music is so powerful and I learn more about it's abilities to motivate and transcend each and every day. Cheers!

What do we work in Pilates?

Basically we work all the muscles of the body in a standard, well rounded Pilates class but The Core/The Powerhouse is what is at the center of every Pilates exercise. I included both names to avoid any confusion as instructors may use one more than the other. They both include: the abs, lower back, hips and glutes. All Pilates movements begin in this area. We start movement from the center and connect the limbs to the core, moving fluidly from the inside out.

Sign-ups are on the Disney Hub for all of my next eight-week session of classes on property. These include:

~Pilates at Feature Animation (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5:30 pm)

~Pilates at Disney University Wednesday at 5:30 pm

~Yoga/Pilates at Feature Animation on Monday (noon)

~Yoga/Pilates at the 215 Building in Celebration on Thursday (noon)

These are for Disney Cast Members through their Cast Activities service. Classes begin the week of August 31st. Spread the word!

Gotta sleep for classes and filming tomorrow!

If you have any questions please let me know and I will see you in class!

Mr. F teaching in Northwest Montana!

Quick note...while in Montana I had the immense pleasure to "guest teach" a Pilates class at The Bigfork Athletic Club in Bigfork, Montana. Wonderful experience and I got to meet some pretty cool people who share the same love of Pilates that I do.

Thanks to Michelle for setting it up and we are planning a master class next time I am in town.

Here is the video:

Yes indeed I will be packing Jilly into my suitcase (she is flexible) and heading to the mountains of northwest Montana for a week of wonder and buffalo burgers.

See you all next week. This video expresses what I am feeling at this moment. Actually it doesn't...

PS Great shorter week of classes! Power Yoga at Golds last night was intoxicating. I added an extended standing flow sequence with Warriors, Triangles, balance poses and even flirted with adding the very advanced Half-Moon poses but time got the best of me. Crap! Time goes so damn fast in that class and we must allow time for the meditation at the end. The meditation is the dessert. The cheesecake. The Simpsons. You get the idea.

Short week of classes here in sunny, rainy, and hot central Florida as I am heading to the mountains of northwest Montana on Wednesday and spending a whole week there! Yes! Maybe Jill will come with too (-:

So I still have about 7 classes before then and I shall give my all before all the hiking, buffalo burgers, canoeing, posing, laughing, walking, and crouching.

Why practice Pilates you ask? I will show you...

Podcasts, Pilates Thunder, and The Cult oh my...

Such a week and it is only half over! Let's start this off with a quote to get the hairs to raise on the back of your neck:

"Range is for the ego, and control is for the soul"

~Anon

Did it work? I am in the business of controlled exercise. No sloppy, jerky, not thought out movements in my classes. We learn to use our bodies as they are meant to be used and as a result we experience rewards and benefits far greater than we could ever imagine. If you are going to do something...do it right...do it brilliantly! If not what's the point?

I have already had the pleasure of teaching over 10 classes this week and working with hundreds of people hungry for more in their lives. They are searching. We are ALL searching. When you come to Yoga and Pilates for instance you are on the right path. You may be on a path that will inspire, change (for the better), and elevate your life to heights you never imagined. This is the business in which I find myself. Part of the solution. Part of something that improves your life on three levels: mind, body, and spirit.

Disney classes have been cruising along and growing and growing. It keeps my on my toes and inspires me to learn as much as I can so I may offer only the BEST classes. Last night at my Power Yoga class at Golds Dr. Phillips I threw in some Half-Moon and Reverse Half-Moon pose which are very challenging poses. Sure there were lots of groans and wobbling but everyone did the best they could and are primed to only improve from class to class. Only improve. Wall-to-wall people posing for themselves and then going home and having the best nights sleep of the week. It's all good!

I am pleased to announce that Mr. Fitness LLC is now doing Podcasts though iTunes!! Such glorious excitement that I am able to open up my business like this and reach so many more people who need help.

Full week of classes this week beginning at Disney tomorrow and then taking me all over central Florida. Such fun! Numbers are great and I get to work with hundreds of people every week and help them improve their lives. It is always an extremely positive experience and I thank you all for sharing your time with me.

Song of the Day: Cradle will Rock by Van Halen

I taught an hour of Spinning today at the Lance Armstrong Foundation Charity Ride at Celebration Fitness and this was one of my hills. I did three hill songs in a row and this was sandwiched in the middle. Tough stuff and David Lee Roth's shrieking vocal flips are always enjoyable. Great song. Great group.

Must prepare for my Lunchtime Yoga/Pilates class at Disney's Feature Animation now. We have been having packed houses and they demand a workout with plenty of relaxation...not the easiest combo but all in a days work for Mr. Fitness (-:

A Jedi uses the Force for Knowledge and Defense...

Energized and drained. That is how a day should end. Excited about the future possibilities but drained from giving so much of your spirit during the day.

Full load of classes today on Disney property as well as Anytime Fitness. In between I squeezed in a callback audition for the Jedi Training Academy at Disney's Maingate Entertainment Complex. Lots of fun and I got to read for the Jedi Master! I really hope that I will be hired on as a sub for this excellent show at the Hollywood Studios.

I am shooting another workout video this weekend and will get it up on the Internet ASAP. DVDs will also be made of these videos for clients and whoever else is interested in purchasing them. This is only the beginning...

Song of the Day: Folding Chair by Regina Spektor

Another gorgeous song by this fine pianist who was born in Russia and now lives in New York City. I have 2 of her latest songs on my Pilates mix this week. Voice is so pretty you shall weep and cry like a baby. Her best song over is called Samson. Haunting.

Check out the new intro video on my web page! It is dramatic and soul elevating!

Tony Stark (as Iron Man): My turn!

From Iron Man

So much can happen in life!

My friends!

We have hit the halfway point of the week and things are running smoothly on my end. Classes have been going so well these past couple weeks and I credit to all of my amazing clients who keep coming back for more and more and more...new clients are also added every week and that really keeps me on my toes.

It is the second week of my latest eight-week session at Walt Disney World where I teach five days a week to the cast members. Had my second class at Disney University this evening and was very happy because we got a much larger room than last week. There are so many people there that hunger for these Pilates classes so adequate space must be provided. The rest of the Disney classes at Feature Animation and Imagineering have been so much fun I wonder why they pay me.

Power Yoga at Golds last night was on FIRE! Packed room or yoga hungry freaks who would Vinyasa flow for two weeks if I let them. Seriously my whole weekly mood is sometimes based on the power yoga class at Golds Gym Dr. Phillips every Tuesday night. I started that class a year ago and it was a new night and a new time. Also that gym had known only 1 yoga instructor since it opened several years ago so the members were very loyal to him. I started with around 15-20 people per class and was rather nervous in the beginning., Now we are topping out around 50 per class and we are all having the time of our life!! I feel proud of beating the hell out of everyone last night with some real powerful music playing through the Gold's speakers. Crow. Half-Moon. Vinyasa. Warrior 3. Hovers. These are a few of the challenging and exciting poses that were weaved through the class last night. Well enough about that class...until next week!

Song of the Day: Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

Obviously with the passing of the King of Pop this song must be recognized. I am using this week as the opener in Pilates. RIP Mr. Jackson.

I filmed an intro video for my web-page this week. Check it out!

The big news is that I am creating and filming Pilates/Yoga workout videos which will be available online and to buy on DVD!! Saturday I will be filming a 5-10 minute Pilates video which will be available to use by the end of the weekend! Gotta get them out there ASAP.

Many classes tomorrow as well as an audition for the Jedi Master in the Jedi Training Academy Show at Disney's Hollywood Studios! SO excited. Will I sleep?

Burned through Disney classes like a red, hot blade!

Finished up my huge week of classes (except for one more tomorrow at the Clubhouse) and that included all of my new classes at Disney. They all went smashingly and the numbers are up again. All the numbers have been very strong considering it is early summer and most Floridians are vacationing up north. Great week! I think my Pilates class at Golds this morning was one of my favorite classes ever! The room was full, the energy was intoxicating and the class ripped along like a tornado with no breaks until 50 minutes in when we hit the cool down. Felt great and everyone got an intense workout that will stay with them for awhile. Here's to many, many more!!

Gotta go to sleep. More tomorrow.

Ask Mr. Fitness!

After a long day of teaching ->>>>>>>>>>

A great way to get more information out there and keep my creative juices flowing is to add an Ask Mr. Fitness section to these blogs. Ta da!! Did I think of this BRILLIANT idea all on my own?? I may have had some help...

So email me an questions you have about my classes, fitness in general, Pilates, Yoga, Spinning, health, nutrition, geology, and anything else and I shall do my best to answer them. If I don't know I will do some research and source the items for you. This will be a wonderful way to explore more areas of health and fitness!

So email any questions you have to svigue@Mr-Fitness.org and I will post them with a pithy reply in these blogs.

Taught my first Pilates class at Disney University this evening and was very pleased with how well everyone did. The room was a little smaller so people were a little cramped but that didn't stop us from performing a very flowing yet challenging class. Next week we will have a larger room. Teaching on Disney property is the best! I am very blessed to be their Pilates and Yoga/Pilates guy.

Starting another new class tomorrow at the Disney 215 Building in Celebration at noon. We call it a Lunchtime Class. Class runs about 45 minutes and sends everyone back to work feeling looser, more relaxed and invigorated. The class is a Yoga/Pilates combination that stresses strong yoga poses and Pilates ab work. Class ends with a meditation to clear the mind, body and spirit.

Song of the Day: You're Going to Lose That Girl by The Beatles

Almost three minutes of pure joy! The Beatles were one-hit wonders from the 60's. They had one hit and then disappeared into obscurity. Too bad. They were pretty good but very under appreciated. I wonder where they are now?

Stay tuned for some workout clips...

Vinyasa Flow THIS!!!

Oh so tired. Oh so sleepy. Oh so...something something.

Still reeling from Power Yoga at Golds this evening! Great class. Packed room! The hour always flies by so damn fast and we are left with the feeling that we could keep going for another hour no problem. Such a great way to end the day with a Power Yoga class. Vinyasa Flow is what it's all about. What is Vinyasa Flow?

Vinyasa Flow (from Wikipedia): a dynamic connecting posture, that creates a flow between the more static traditional yoga postures. Vinyasa translates as linking and the system also implies the linking of the movement to the breath. Essentially the breath dictates the movement and the length of time held in the postures. Unlike some Hatha yoga styles, attention is also placed on the journey between the postures not just the postures themselves.

My class is full of these such flows and it serves as the connective tissue between the poses. As a result the poses flow from one to the next without missing a beat. No time is ever wasted because we are constantly moving from pose to pose to pose to pose...

Get me some fresh beets over here now!

I start back at Disney this week and am shaking with excitement! Lots of returning people as well as newbies that will soon be out through the paces. The more disciplined and consistent you are with these classes the better you will look and feel . In these blogs I tend to ramble sometimes and go off on tangents (the way I do in person to those of you who have had the pleasure...) but when I teach it is all business. Sure some levity may be thrown in but you are there to challenge and inspire yourself. I give everything I can to each class to ensure a rewarding experience for the client...regardless of their fitness level. The more you attend my (or someone else's that you enjoy) classes the better you will look and feel. EVERY TIME! Once you make the decision to dedicate yourself to Pilates and yoga expect the amazing. Did I just go off on a tangent again?

Just made a new Pilates mix for the week and it is going to ROCK! Perhaps some rolling too. Might even be some break dancing. Who knows what may happen...

I filmed some intro stuff today in Dr. Phillips and enjoyed being in front of the camera again! We are currently scouting locations around the area to film some 5-10 minute workout videos. More news to follow...

Song of the Day: Fire on the Mountain by Rob Thomas

This is one of the most dramatic songs I have ever heard! It is off his new album out now and it is the lead-in for my Pilates classes this week. It has this throbbing drum beat behind it and builds and peaks like the Colorado landscape. Good reference! Powerful song.

State of the Day: Idaho

Why? Why not?

Looking forward to seeing you in class this week! How you treat your body is YOUR choice. Always has been and always will be.

Wishing everyone an exciting, invigorating and passionate week!

Up Up and more Up...

I am officially obsessed with the new Pixar movie, Up. Tonight I had the pleasure of seeing it in 3D and that makes the fourth time I have gazed up Mr. Fredrickson, Russell, Kevin, Dug and the house powered by thousands of pretty balloons. Here is a taste:

Dug: Hi there. My name is Dug. My master made me this collar so I may talk. SQUIRREL! (Dug looks away for several moments) Hi There."

I begin a new eight-week journey at Disney this week with a brand new Pilates class at Disney University along with my other classes at Feature Animation and the 215 Building in Celebration. I am always VERY excited to start a new session and see who I will meet and who has returned for more punishment. All in all we are all very fortunate to be there.

Song of the Day: I've Got a Thing About You Baby by Elvis Presley

I always have time for the King. Really got into him in college and have been smitten ever since. He recorded this song in the 1970's near the end of his short life. Too short indeed.

Time to go see Up again...it has already been 2 hours. Some lady a couple rows ahead of me texted during the entire movie. She REALLY knows how to live. Such joy! I figure she was a heart surgeon and was texting orders to save a patient. After the movie she probably rushed to the hospital and saved even more people. Good for her!

And i'm outta here...

From Dead Poets Society

Oh Captain my captain!

LOVE this passage. It has been stuck in my craw lately. No offense.

John Keating: We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

From Dead Poets Society

That is all. Proceed with what you were doing until I call upon you again...you won't know when or where...but there I shall be...probably wearing a Guns N' Roses t-shirt.

What a wonderful vacation! I shall miss this gorgeous town and surrounding areas but duty calls me back to Florida to continue my business quests. Every time I come home I leave feeling energized, invigorated, and, inspired!! Works like a charm. I am so looking forward to getting back to my exciting classes, presentations, and videos! Oh yes the videos shall be very interesting. Mr. F loves being on camera...

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Such a blessing to spend all this time with my awesome family...I am always a little sad when the plane takes off from the La Crosse airport and I leave the green, rolling hills behind. There are no rolling hills where I live. Rolling tourists and Walgreens. They roll damn it!

I look forward to all the unknown exciting aspects on the horizon!

Song of the Day: I've got plenty to be thankful for by Bing Crosby

Title says it all. Want to have the best sleep of your life? Listen to old, vintage radio show Crosby before you go to bed. Like warm milk and honey.

I have watched The Court Jester with Danny Kaye about 6 times since I have been home. Check out this quote:

Hawkins: What manner of man is Giacomo? Ha ha! I shall tell you what manner of man is he. He lives for a sigh, he dies for a kiss, he lusts for the laugh, ha! He never walks when he can leap! He never flees when he can fight (thud) oop! He swoons at the beauty of a rose. And I offer myself to you, all of me. My heart. My lips. My legs. My calves. Do what you will - my love endures. Beat me. Kick me. (kiss, kiss) I am yours.

I miss all my clients and the intoxicating energy they give off in class. Let's get back to it shall we!!!

Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!

Song of the Day: Night Ride Across the Caucasus by Loreena McKennitt

It has been my soundtrack lately as I tread the streets and sidewalks of southwest Wisconsin. Smoldering and mysterious this Loreena lady knows how to let seep into your soul. This is flow yoga music at it's finest. If only Rhapsody.com had more Loreena. Drat!

My love affair with West Salem

Picture on right was taken on the La Crosse bike trail yesterday. I am riding my sister's very sexy beach cruiser "Pee Wee Herman" model.

As I prepare to leave this wonderful town and head back to the crowded, congested, loud streets of central Florida I look back with such affection at this beautiful town nestled in the rolling hills of southwest Wisconsin. That was a very long sentence. To show my appreciation for all this town has given me I have composed a list.

Why I love West Salem by Sean Vigue

~People mow their lawns every other day. Seriously. Today I saw someone finish and then they decided to go around again.
~There is a dog in every house AND every car. Some are even living in mailboxes and flower pots.
~Linda's Bakery...but you probably guessed that if you have gazed upon my recent pictures. I love walking out there in the morning and meeting my family for a delightful romp of chatter, eating and making fun of people. It is what we French people do.
~The people are always very nice and efficient.
~Lots of camo. I love to wear camo so I feel like family.
~The mascot of West Salem is the Panthers. I have NEVER seen a panther in this town.
~Walking to the high school to take a Yogalates class or lift some weights. It is a beautiful addition to the school and uber cheap...$2 a pop. Nice. I always see former teachers walking on the indoor track and I take the time to apologize for being such a shit in their classes. They usually laugh and say I wasn't that bad...then when I turn around they try to push me down the stairs.
~The smells. Can't explain them but they are intoxicating. I am a night walk junkie and you cannot imagine the smells I encounter during these walks. You want world peace? Make night walks mandatory. They will save your life and clear you soul. I blame Bush for night walks.
~If you don't drive a Buick you are glared at.
~I love to walk by a bar downtown called Kromes. Kromes has very high windows so I go by everyone and jump up so my face appears briefly in the window. I repeat this several times and laugh. Why do I do this? Why not?
~I see two seasons here in a year: dead of winter and the beginning of summer. Amazing to see the difference. When I left last Christmas it was just after an intense ice storm. So amazing!
~Did I mention how much people mow here? I did? Oh...OK. Don't want to repeat myself.
~The unholy obsession with the Packers.
~Wide open fields that I can tinkle on at night.

Let's leave it there. There are many more reasons but I am becoming tired. More to follow...

Going into the studio...

I am so excited because I am in the process of planning several Pilates, Yoga, and Yoga/Pilates workouts to be filmed when I return to Florida! This has been something in the works for awhile and I am overjoyed to get in front of the camera and reach many more people through my company, Mr. Fitness LLC.

As I always say...this is only the beginning!

Song of the Day: Ave verum Corpus by Jenkins (sung by Bryn Terfel on the album Simple Gifts)

This song is truly amazing and inspiring. It has been on my evening West Salem night walk mixes during my vacation here and it has caused me to walk into a tree, a ditch, and a hay loft among other things. Gorgeous. That is all I can say.

Returning to Florida on Thursday. Don't forget the Disney sign-ups on the Hub.

It's the smells!

I tell ya this town (West Salem) has the best smells possible. They are so nice that I will not even explain what they are...just trust me. I have been doing my patented night walks here for about an hour and a half every evening. Just me and Maddie on an adventure through the thick southwest Wisconsin wilderness. Always an adventure my friends.

I have been busy planning my new Pilates and Yoga videos as well. This is very exciting as they will be available to all of my clients to utilize when they need some extra fitness and Mr Fitness during the week. The videos will each run between 5 and 10 minutes and will be a non-stop flowing thrill ride!!! Damn straight!!

Also am researching TONS of new music for my many, many classes once I return to Florida. Some new groups are: The Jam, Orbital and The M. Turner Rhythm Section. Stay tuned for many more exciting music choices and experiences.

I am off to B and N to research and make funny mental notes of all the people walking by.
