Greetings!
October! Well it sure didn't waste any time getting to the jacket-weather phase. Good thing we New Yorkers love to accessorize. It also seems like no one wasted time breaking out their costumes, although in this town, it's hard to tell a costume from someone's general wardrobe. Lots of cool stuff happening here at RG-HQ. Blazing high-speed internet is wired up in all studios on the 16th and 17th floor. Five bucks an hour for upload and download speeds that will make your hair blow back like a supermodel in a photo shoot. A whole new line of soups are cooking up at the cafe, and be sure to stop by and warm your hands with fresh-baked scones and cookies in the morning!
Sincerely,
John Norman

 Go See COUGAR!A new musical directed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett
From the creator, Donna Moore:
"When I first heard the term "Cougar' eight years ago, I was doing stand up comedy and writing 'The UnBalancing Act", a show about my divorce- and I thought, "How come we have to place a derogatory name on an older woman? I mean, what do you call an older MAN who's linked with a younger woman? I've researched it...It's called MAN!""
Come enjoy this modern affirmation of the power of "grown-up women"!
