Theater Resources Unlimited (TRU) proudly announces the two honorees for their 8th annual TRU Love Benefit, which will be held on Sunday, November 8, 2009 from noon to 4pm at Caroline’s on Broadway, 1626 Broadway at 49th Street, NYC. Elysabeth Kleinhans of 59E59 Theatres will receive the TRU “Spirit of Theater” Award for her ongoing generosity towards TRU as well as the off-Broadway producing community in general; and Allan Buchman of Culture Project will be acknowledged with the TRU Humanitarian Award for his dedication to bringing politically and socially conscious works to life in New York theater, and successfully using the arts for social change.

“A little birdy told us” that Uncle Steve was interviewing Britanny Mendenhall! It’s true, two of our favorite online bloggers. We were there the night they met. Brittany has been a contributor here on GofG as well. Our favorite part of the interview was the quote above, in which Steve questioned Brittany’s top 5 worst clubs, one of which he designed.

Her blog is soooo ghetto (not a reference to her race). She might have been a journalism major but she clearly doesn’t know shit about graphic design…or club design for that matter…I’ve only been to Marquee once in the last 2 years and the people that go there now might be ugly, but the design is sick! Steve- you did an amazing job and as an architecture student I should know.
Steve Lewis can do no wrong and I think Marquee is his best work.
Let me first say that I admire and respect Steve Lewis and everyone who knows me and/or reads my blog knows that.
And something you don’t know, because you’re not in the cool kids club, is the ORIGINAL design was much more “flamboyant,” as Steve would say and I probably would have loved the space had it remained as such. But I don’t like it and I don’t have to. Pretty is in the eye of the beholder.
My blog is awesome. That’s why Steve interviewed me, because he thinks so as well. And I don’t know anything about graphic design or club design, I have a B.A. in JOURNALISM. Which means I WRITE.
And obviously you have not been to ASC yet because I believe THAT is Steve’s best work. And once Webster Hall is finished I know that will top them all. I have seen the changes and I am blown away.
You my friend are an idiot and shouldn’t use profanity. This is a PG blog my friend.
And Rachelle You Spelled my name wrong…
HAHA
