Friday Five

1. Defiant Girl on Wall Street is pretty amazing!  I loved getting the chance to see her and I loved that she's still standing tall in face of adversity - by the bull or from her critics!

2. First off, I respect the heck out of Jimmy Kimmel for coming forward and saying what he did about his son and the new healthcare bill.  He's been through so much this past few weeks, but he was still able to be funny and impassioned.  Secondly, I love that they booked Shaun White because of his ties to this same issue that Jimmy's son.  Shaun White hasn't been in the news in a while, so I'm sure he wasn't earning Jimmy any ratings, but what a great way to reach out and have Shaun calm some of their fears!       
        

3. I had the chance to see the songs of Lewis Flynn last night at 54 Below.  Obviously, Andrew Rannells was the big draw. However, they premiered 3 songs from their new musical Robin Hood, and I'm hooked! The music and the cast are truly stellar.  The show is premiering in Dallas but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it does so well, it reaches Broadway, because this really is some beautiful music!
         

4. A few weeks ago, ex-Raven Todd Heap had a personal tragedy in his life when he accidentally hit his daughter (whom he didn't realize had followed him into the driveway) with his truck, and killed her.  It's an awful story and I keep thinking about him and how truly tragic this is.  However, this week his family and friends joined in to celebrate her life with #HugsforHolly day.  Everyone was asked to wear pink (her favorite color) and do random acts of kindness.  To see so many people get involved was amazing!  Just look up the hashtag on Twitter, thousands of people joined in from ex-teammates to whole NFL organizations.  It was a beautiful way for a little good to come out of this tragedy.

5. This makes me laugh because I'm pretty sure this would happen to me if I ever met Stephanie Block : )
