    I have to say that your weekend lineup thing is really helpful and fun. Thanks.

    We went to see Schoolhouse Rock Live at ArtsWest tonight – it is absolutely adorable! And we don’t even have kids – just wanted to relive our childhood days watching Saturday morning cartoons in the 70s. :) The kids do a great job, and it turns out that their director and the acting teachers were the actors who did Hair last month! Tickets are only $10. Show is only about 50 min. or so, but we really enjoyed it a lot.
