Devin Townsend at Studio Seven in Seattle, January 2013. Alas, the blurry black spot at the right of the image was the best image of a mosh pit stuffie I got.

Stuff I Wrote Lately
My blogging has taken a hit in 2015 as I have spent more time on writing things I get paid for. Sometimes I add links to these paid things on the Stuff I Wrote page, but sometimes I forget and fall behind. I recently updated Stuff I Wrote, as well as some of the Complete Contributions pages where I get all obsessive about documenting everything I ever wrote. But if you’re just wondering what I’ve done lately, here are links to things that ran in August and September.
I didn’t go to Bumbershoot this year, and whined about the reasons why here on the blog. But I snarked about Bumbershoot’s rejection of families at ParentMap, too.
After I wrote a couple stories about movies for ParentMap this summer, they gave me a movie column! It’s only for the autumn, and then we’ll see if it draws enough clicks to continue, but I am already having so much fun with it.
I usually think the book was better but for this one I rounded up a list of book adaptations whose quality rivals the source material.
A round up of the family-friendly theatrical releases in theaters now and looking forward through the end of the year.
I reviewed the first rep of Pacific Northwest Ballet’s new season, “See the Music.” (Spoiler: I loved it.) I also reviewed the Broadway revival of “Annie” at the Paramount. (Spoiler: Better than the movie.)

Long story short: A rich man has commissioned a tragic opera, “Ariadne auf Naxos,” to be performed at his party. He has also hired a commedia dell’arte troupe. At the last minute, he decides the program is too long and the two performances must be merged. Hijinks ensue. Read More

There were dozens of bunny rabbits hanging out around the community garden on Lopez Island when I camped there last summer. They seemed appropriate to share today.
