Random Acts of Mind by Dones

The world may mourn the loss of ‘acclaimed TV pioneer’ Merv Griffin, who died Sunday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in LA after a battle with prostate cancer.

Well, I’m pretty’ much resigned to us not being able to afford a trip to see Xanadu on Broadway, but maybe I can help organize something like this in Kansas City: Some creative types in LA had a screening last year and added some live dancers during some key parts. This video shows part of […]
