The Pee Wee Herman Show

I woke up this morning – a day when most of America is attending Super Bowl parties and watching the game, the commercials, and the half-time – and I decided to do something different. Today was the last day of a four week run at Club Nokia for The Pee Wee Herman show. I hadn’t yet seen the show and […]

Without further ado, I give you my first impressions of my […]

Updating my updates…
