Cincinnati Tennis Tournament Ladies Champion Robbed...

Anna Chakvetadze, winner of the 2007 Western & Southern Financial Groups Women's Open in Mason, Ohio, was robbed at gunpoint this week her home in Moscow.

See the article on here.

My wife and I met her this summer at the tournament. Super nice off the court, fiercely competitive on the court.

Christmas in Historic Loveland

Did you know that Loveland lies in three different counties? You do now.

Big weekend in Loveland. On Saturday 'Christmas in Loveland' will take place from 4-9 pm. I'd love to tell you about the great time I had at it last year, but I don't even remember being aware of it last year. Some resident I am!

Some highlights listed on the website: ...free horse drawn carriage rides ...children and adult choirs performing continuously ...Santa ...Live Nativity (kids able to pet the animals) ...The History Museum is open and decorated ...live production at the Stage Co. theater ...free candy canes for kids ...chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

McCormick & Schmick's, The Aronoff, and Fountain Square Parking

Fun night downtown...

Ate the Walleye from this place... McCormick & Schmick's, even though I want to say Schmidt's.

Watched the School of Creative and Performing Arts present "Hello, Love" - "Miracle on 34th Street", and then walked through Fountain Square.

I must say, this was my second venture downtown, IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS! Pretty good for an EastSider from Loveland.

Aronoff and Holiday Things

The Aronoff has two events happening this weekend.

One is presented by Ballet Tech Ohio: Celebration! This will occur in the Jarson-Kaplan Theater. (I don't think I knew this theater existed before today.) Straight from the website:

An International Festival of Song and Dance featuring Choreography by C.R. Barrett, Marius Petipa, Kelly Ann Sloan, Lyrica Joy Smith, Ting Song and Ben Walker II.

Including excerpts from The Nutcracker as well as American, Caribbean, Celtic, Chinese and Spanish ballets featuring the talented dancers of ballet tech ohio with guest artists Thomas Bell and Revelation! Dance Theatre of Kingdom Arts International Institute (Lyrica Joy Smith, Artistic Director.

Jarson-Kaplan Theater

The second is an event I am attending myself, presented completely by School for Creative and Performing Arts: Miracle On 34th Street.

The second event takes place in P&G Hall.

P&G Hall

Later Blurg.

It was mentioned in another post in another forum on another day, but I want to know, where is BlurgGirl?

Who knows the answer to this question?

We want an encore!

Bring back BlurgGirl!
