We interrupt this week’s programming to bring you some Halloween makeup tips!
If you want to look like the Henderson zombies, you’ll need these materials:
liquid latex
different color cream makeups
glicerine if you want them to look slimy and oozy (we didn’t use it)
And now, Mr. Henderson will show you how to create scars and rotting flesh: […]
What were you like in high school? Fat? Skinny? Bold? Mousy? Popular? Unpopular and proud of it? Introduce me to the high school version of you.

Wednesday, Marcy Dermansky, who wrote the deliciously weird page-turner TWINS will be here. And we’re having a slumber party!
If you’ve never been to a girls’ slumber party before, here’s a […]
I have to say that there’s something intimidating about Greg Downs when I look at his bio. There’s the Ph.D. and the fact that he’s a professor of history at the City College of New York. He graduated from Yale and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and is married to the Associate Dean of the University […]
You are now seeing a side of me that only Mr. Henderson and my children know. I click on iTunes, hit SHUFFLE, and get the following top 20 songs. . .
Gnarls Barkley - Go-Go Gadget
Big Mato, Daddy Yankee, Gem Star, N.O.R.E. & Nina Skyy - Oye Mi Canto
Miles to Dayton - Hero for Another Day

Danny Gregory can convince anyone that they can draw, that they have time to draw, and that they can silence their inner critic by drawing often and drawing in pen. There’s something wonderfully un-labored about his drawing, that’s what I like best, that you can see enjoyment in the strokes. Maybe you’ll see what I […]
Turn on your iTunes or iPod (or whatever is the closest thing for you). Now, hit SHUFFLE, and tell me what 7 songs come up first.
No cheating! This is not about sharing your favorite, brag-worthy taste, it’s about catching you off guard and seeing a hidden side to your personality.

Wednesday, you may just […]
“a book should be as an axe, to break the frozen sea within us.” - Franz Kafka.
I think that Franz K. might have been on to something there. But, how?
As writers we all struggle to come in to our own. To find our voice. We study, we read, we workshop and we write, […]
How’s this for warning? A day and a half ago, Bach-Boy finds out he’s been chosen to sing the National Anthem (along with 10 others) at the next Islanders game. (That’s hockey, Aurelio.) Luckily, we’re free Saturday night. Bach-Boy is psyched about being picked, then asks, “Which one’s the national anthem?” Guess we’re winging it.
If […]
My guest today is the beautiful Candice Night, singer of Blackmore’s Night. She talks of songwriting, her love of Renaissance music and costumes, her collaboration with guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, their fans, and how fulfilling it is to play the music you want to play - even when that means you can’t get your sound on […]
What do you do when the art you create doesn’t easily fit within a particular commercial label? For those of you who are out-of-the-box, tell me your story.
