Hot like FIRE!

Thursday! Thursday! Thursday is HERE! (And soon it will be Christmas Eve). The Entertainment Eye is out NOW with the fun game "Holiday Survivor: Still No Fun for Anyone" on the inside.

You can also read my interview with the Violent Femmes here, Word on the Street here and my review of Kosmos sports bar here.

As for you folks who want to see the game? Sorry. It's not on-line. You gotta get out and get yourself a newspaper. Like now.

And theater people! See who got nominated for a "Wordie" here! (Or just scroll down) And musicians! Your Wordie winners have already been announced. Congratulations Mission:Tonight! You won best album! Whoo-hoo!

For those who don't know and need to ask somebody, a "Wordie" is slang for the First Annual WORD ON THE STREET Awards, inspired by The Empty Space Awards.

So far, The Spotlight Theatre and Cafe and The Empty Space are going neck 'n neck with nominations! The Spotlight's shows got over 30 nominations and they're up for general execellence. Their biggest competition is the little free theater that could, The Empty Space who are also up for general excellence and have more than 35 nomiations for their various shows.

As for the best, grandest most entertaining shows of the year, director Hal Friedman goes against Hal Friedman with "Into the Woods" and "Angels In America" up for nods. BMT is trying to put the smack down with their "Beauty and the Beast" and watch those high kicks, because those heels could take an eye out in both "Cabaret" and the cabaret version of "The Vagina Monologues."

As for best actor nominations, Doug Cheesman's mischevious Emcee in "Cabaret" will try to out sing Ken Burdick's murderous Sweeney Todd will doing battle with a tag team of John Patrick Wells and Brian Sivesind -- both up for their contrasting parts in "Angels In America."

As for best actress Jenny Hatzman's Harper in "Angels" will try to fend off the competition in the form of Monique Gomez's show stopping performance as "the witch" in "Into the Woods," Sheila McClure's balls out bad-ass portrayal of Sally Bowles in "Cabaret and Guinevere Park-Hall's vulnerable performance in the drama "Stop Kiss."


And, hey! Hope you remembered to watch Daybreak on CBS-TV 29 this morning! I, of course, forgot to remind you, but I'm on EVERY Thursday around 6 a.m. (usually between 6:10 and 6:40.) If you saw this morning's broadcast you got to check out local band The Had and Been jamming with some acustic guitar and a fiddle doing "White Christmas" all Bob Dylan style. They're having a big show TONIGHT starting at 9 p.m. at Fishlips (on 18th Street right across from The Californian and next door to the Goodwill.)
