Been so long. I'll tell you of my adventures later, but for now there's business to tend to.<br /><br />Have you heard about the proposed new venue in Portsmouth - <a href="http://www.3sarts.org/">3S Artspace</a>?<br />Well G Lady and DC (intrepid videographer) went to the location, and visited the man with the dream to get the scoop first hand; that man would be the smiling Chris Greiner with yours truly depicted below.<br /><br />Click on the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/seacoastonline.com/gossipLady">LINK</a> and see the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H6UlT0BzZc">video</a> that tells all, including their desperate need for votes (no strings attached) that could win them $50,000 in the Pepsi Challange.<br /><br />They have a deadline of January 31.

But we had a few extra minutes and just dropped by and as it was it proved most fortuitous.<br /><br />Much to our delight, and I venture to say yours, we found Christopher in the middle of a session with a live model. It's true - beauty begets beauty - at least in the case of <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">lovely </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Emily</span>, the model, and her facsimile taking form on Christopher's stand. See video <a href="http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20100902-ENTERTAIN-9020327">here</a>.<br /><br />So there's that and a wonderful private tour of an outstanding sculpture garden at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.sanctuaryarts.org/">Sanctuary Arts </a>- a school and art center, owned and run by Mz. Gowell.<br /><br />Can't imagine this one won't delight the pants off you. Speaking of which, if you are offended by nudity, regardless of how tasteful, please skip this video.<br /><br />I'm off now, but expect to hear from me again soon. I had trouble with this contraption and was unable to post the last video, so will do that and catch you up on lots of area happenings. For now, off to WEST ad <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.pontine.org/html/directions.html">ACT ONE</a>, to catch <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.genevieveaichele.com">Genvieve Aichele</a>'s one-woman show, which ends today!

There's time to get out and about even before dinner or theater and - RIGHT now - there's a perfect reason to get a move on. So pull on the sneaks and hit the street, 'cause it's Art 'Round Town with a special feature.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.portsmouthhistory.org/discover_portsmouth_center/">Discover Portsmouth Center</a> is taking part in the monthly gallery walk, ad is jam packed with happenings. You an catch the opening of "<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.paarlberg.com">Bill Paarlberg</a>: Illustrating Portsmouth" a thirty year retrospective. There's Bill's early illustrations, a number of current watercolors and even a chance to "become one with" his famous Portsmouth Monsters - bring a camera. The event features his latest monster as well. I made her aquaintnce and LOVED her! (And hurry, Dan Blakeslee may still be playing live!)<br /><br />Then, just walk across the foyer to the <a href="http://saacc-nh.org/index.html">Seacoast African American Culture Center</a> for lots of reasons. First check out the incredible work by painter Cassandra M Gillens, one element in a multi faceted Gulag program/celebration.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtaxPj1ERNwlTZ0qEEQWy0nAZ8UwLMyvGlxLkCZJbc_PQ7FTOZinpK_dLfs3aHAMzdUQhsi9SSJCDKco4q6VwbTCiv4cq1vGYF_EZbDm18yjiH8X3Q1yUOA9Oqnzh-BKRXUe7J9wYi1wj/s1600/ArcadiaTheater-736128.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKtaxPj1ERNwlTZ0qEEQWy0nAZ8UwLMyvGlxLkCZJbc_PQ7FTOZinpK_dLfs3aHAMzdUQhsi9SSJCDKco4q6VwbTCiv4cq1vGYF_EZbDm18yjiH8X3Q1yUOA9Oqnzh-BKRXUe7J9wYi1wj/s320/ArcadiaTheater-736128.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502438674287591490" border="0" /></a><br />You can also meet Susan Strickler - a lovely lady - and director and CEO of the Manchester Currier Museum. That kindly woman is loaning the center a contemporary work created by Portsmouth Richard Haynes and a group of young artists.<br /><br />Do say hi to my longtime friend Vernis Jackson (SAACC founder). She's there with a big smile of course. Love that woman!<br /><br />Finally head up the stairs to the second floor and catch the show by Richard.<br />G Lady arrived before the actual opening an dhte place was already hoppin'. Lots of faces from the re:Ports. years.<br /><br /><br />That's all I have to say. Have to get this out to you. Now go! Quick!

Well let me tell you folks - especially those a tad disappointed with some sets in the recent past - they're out to wow, and WILL!<br /><br />Um-um-um-um-um, that is a mighty fine looking set. It has things that move, hide, pivot and turn.

They are doing two Shakespeare based plays in rep, and on Sundays offer both! So today you can catch "Hamlet" at 2 then have a bit of vitals and be back for “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” at 7. Get thee to the Ring!<br /><br />That McCartin woman gave it a <a href="http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20100610-ENTERTAIN-6100319">rave review </a>- and I must agree with her. What a delightful thing to do on a rainy day eh? (The above photo is of a few of the shows' dashing boys - do NOT be fooled by those innocent faces).<br /><br />If you'd rather have a bit of a walk about - and catch "Bard and company" next weekend, <span style="font-style: italic;">its final - be careful</span>, well there's all those delightful galleries in town. Remember the plein aire artist out and about a few weeks ago in downtown Portsmouth? That's <a href="http://www.erinemurray.com/">Erin Murray</a>, and she's exhibiting at the Kennedy Studio. G Lady had a lovely visit with this talented lady. Check out the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06c_33bVyW4">Gossip Lady Video interview</a>.<br /><br />And look below for a link to the Portsmouth Fine Arts Musuem's latest do's.

This is a not-to-be-missed event!<br /><br />Here's a nutshell lowdown.<br /><br />Cutie patutie Howard <em>Altschiller</em>, executive editor for Seacoast Newspapers, snatched the ceremony from the circular out-box and took on the job of overseeing what will likely be the best ever arts celebration this town has ever seen.<br /><br />Lots of folk jumped on the volunteer bandwagon to make it happen, including the first Spotlight editor Dennis Wheeler, and this years cohost Jon Nolan and John Herman.<br /><br />Portsmouth's own Zombies, led by Tara Walker Sullivan are performing, as will a quasi Michael Jackson impersonator, ( we use the term quite loosely).<br /><br />There will be performances by the theater and music sector, Billy Butler is dropping by, WSCA will broadcast live, Deb Cram is supply some sweet visuals, Rachael Forrest will introduce a new Chef category - and well there's just to many happenings to list!<br /><br />Some award categories have been altered or added to, and the nominee and final selection process has changed.

It's FREE. They'd love you to give a donation, but no need.

If you love a great story, intelligent, witty lyrics, music the gods pass the time with, well - I said it last year and I say it again - <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.groovelily.com/">GrooveLily</a>, the band that makes this happen, is NOT TO BE MISSED!<br /><br />This is some of the finest, tightest performance/band/musical (jazz, rock, pop and showtune) in one cohesive, delightful tale. The Music Hall has it listed as the "anti-holiday show with Seinfeldesque humor."<br /><br />I'm goin' with the latter and questioning the former. Sure it has a disgruntled guy tired of the holidays, but this show shows more of the season's original intent than most. It's touching, funny, interesting and thoughtprovoking.<br /><br />All that AND some of the finest musicianship you're likely to catch anywhere, anytime, holiday or not.<br /><br />Okay I'm gushing. But I'm doing it for your own good. It's true. Do yourself a favor.

Much to my surprise a few of his "buddies" drop in during our <span>tete-a-tete</span>. (Gave me a bit of a start really).<br /><br />Well Ebenezer was warm, inviting and forthcoming. (Yes, we are on first name bases now. Such a lovely gentleman). He talks openly about his past, future, and what he hopes for on Christmas. Did he ever hook up with some lovely lady? Did he ever confront the thieves? Find out the answers to these probing questions and more.<br /><br /><br />Hot Toddy on! Feet up. Enjoy!<br /><br />Gossip Lady<br /><br />Scrooge will be appearing in "<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Christmas Carol</span>" at <a href="http://www.seacoastrep.org/">Seacoast Repertory Theatre</a>.
