Getting Retro-spective

Every first Thursday of the month, my boyfriend hosts a variety show at the Parkside Lounge aptly called, "Variety Underground." Since today's "VU" fell on a holiday - the assumption was that the show would be canceled this month. Not so.

So, with little or no time to book a bunch of acts, he decided to take advantage of the free space and use it as a studio to tape a retrospective or "clip show" for The Spotlight.

We set up a couple of cameras and some lighting equipment and sat down to interview each other about the show and its many incarnations over the past couple of years. All of our footage will be edited down for a very special "Spotlight Retrospective" to be aired on MNN in the next month or so.

I enjoy being a part of this project (even if there is a little bit of nepotism involved.) It's up to me to prove that even if I weren't the girlfriend of the host, I would still be the number one choice for musical improviser.
