VOTE FOR KRISTINA VANNI
A fellow Wildcat needs your help! I am a finalist in the Mario Batali Ultimate
Grilling Challenge but in order to make it to the next step in the competition
I need your votes!
Log on to http://www.mariobatali.com/grillingcontest/
Then you can register and vote for me! My
video is right there on the front page. (It's easy, I am wearing a pink shirt
and I am the only girl!)
After registering you can vote for me by "ranking" my video as 5 STARS. (And
because this is a competition, you can try and knock my competitors down in the
ranks by giving them 1 STAR. It's kinda mean, but in the cut throat culinary
world you gotta do what you gotta do...)
Thanks so much everybody! I am crossing my fingers that I make it to the next
round!
Bon Appetit,

RUNNING, PANCAKES AND TARYN
RENEAU
Who:
Hopefully You
What: The HD 5K*
Where: CBS Radford Studios, 4024 Radford Ave., Studio City, CA 91604
When: This Saturday, September 20th, Registration starts-7:30, Run
starts-8a
How: Pull into the parking structure on Radford this Saturday
Why: a) It's free PLUS this year you get a free pancake
breakfast, b) One of the most fun events in L.A., c) You'll support, with your
presence, a worthy cause
Thank you for supporting Big Bob Boosters, if just by reading this!!
This third HDSA-LA 5K is special because a close family friend -- Big Bob, his
son, and his family -- suffers from Huntington's Disease, and also because it extends
awareness of this devastating disease for which there is no cure.
For those who may not know, any child of a parent with Huntington's Disease has
a 50-50% chance of inheriting the disease and, as I said, there is no
cure. For those not big on exercise, there's free food. For those not big
on early mornings, I guarantee you'll enjoy yourself, and you can sleep in
Sunday (or next weekend)!
This year, for the 1st time, TarynReneau.com is sponsoring a (delicious!!)
Pancake Breakfast after the 5K, just for you for showing up! Become a Big Bob
Booster by joining us the morning of Saturday, September 20th at CBS Radford
Studios. Walk, run, or just come and eat pancakes. Seriously. The entire
event is free. Donations are welcome but not required. The presence of you,
your family, friends and colleagues is important enough. Please join me!
If you want more information or if you can't make the 5K and would just like to
donate money toward research for Huntington's Disease or The Marion Dougherty
Fund, please log on to: www.firstgiving.com/bigbobboosters.
Please call me or email with any q's, and please seriously consider coming.
*It's
3.2 miles, running or walking or run/walking (what I do) around the lot.
You won't regret it.
See your smiling face soon!!!
THANK YOU! :) Taryn 310.621.9016. Taryn@TarynReneau.com

20% OFF FALL PLAYWRIGHTING WORKSHOP WITH TREY NICHOLS
Saturdays 10am - 1pm
September 6, 13, 20, 27, October 4, 11, 18, 25
Trey Nichols is offering 20% discount to his fall playwriting workshop for NUEA
West members. The workshop is geared for intermediate to advanced
playwrights, though new writers are welcome. In a fun, supportive, and
rigorous atmosphere, each playwright brings up to eight pages of new work to be
read aloud and discussed in depth each week. At
the conclusion of the 8-week session, readings are held in a casual setting
with local actors. The aim of the workshop is to further the
development of each playwright's unique voice and vision, with the goal of
completing a one-act play or the first act of a full-length play by the
end of the 8-week course. Many plays developed in the workshop have gone on to
receive readings, workshops, and productions at theatres around the country.
Trey Nichols is a playwright,
actor, and solo performer, and has written more than a dozen full-length and
one-act plays, including THE MEADOWS, FATHERS AT A GAME, ONE SLIT HEAD, and
BODY FOUND. His solo show, A LESSON IN PROPER BOW-FLUFFING TECHNIQUE
(Storey Productions/Moving Arts), was nominated for a 2005 Ovation Award for
Solo Performance. His most recent play, SUNNI TRIANGLE, received a staged
reading in The War Plays Project, produced by playwright EM Lewis. Trey
is a company member and the former Literary Director of Moving Arts, the highly
acclaimed theatre in Los Angeles where from 1995
to 2007 he produced and moderated the company's Playreading Series and aided in
the development of many new plays by playwrights from all across the United States. Trey received
a B.S. in Theatre from Northwestern. He is a member of the Dramatists
Guild of America and the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights.
The
workshop is limited to eight playwrights. The venue is a private residence on
LA's westside.
Fee
is $250 ($200 for NUEA WEST members). For info about the next session or
