Revised disclaimers & Deidre's "Creative Culture" blog

Posted Friday, June 12, 2009, at 5:15 PM

I needed to take a few weeks off from this new blog. I'm busy, busy, busy, and activities for which I don't get paid sometimes have to take a back seat to family, employment, community, and homeowner commitments. Also, new volunteer commitments sometimes have to take a back seat to more long-standing and more pressing volunteer commitments.

Before I start adding new blog entries, I wanted to revise my blog description (below and at right) with some new disclaimers. I especially want to recommend Deidre Rosenboom's "Creative Culture" blog on this Dickinson County News web site.

Here's that new description...

<< I'm a lifelong summer resident of Arnolds Park and the Iowa Great Lakes, born in 1964, and I moved here year-round in 2002. My parents initiated my love of arts and entertainment when they took me to the Okoboji Summer Theatre (OST) Boji Bantam Children's Theatre beginning in the late 1960s and to OST mainstage productions beginning in 1971. I support the arts in general, especially live theatre, music, dance and performance art, but my primary passion is movies. My weekly column, "Down in Front: At the Movies with F. Joseph Wilson," is published in the Dickinson County News and the Okobojian. Disclaimer 1: I'm new to blogging so the content of this "Arts & Entertainment Matters" blog is a work in progress, changing over time. For now, it covers arts and entertainment in and near the Iowa Great Lakes. Disclaimer 2: While I enjoy both performing and visual arts, I'm more active and familiar with performing arts. For outstanding coverage of visual arts, I recommend the "Creative Culture" blog by fellow DCN blogger Deidre Rosenboom. Disclaimer 3: Readers are reminded that columns and blogs are often a matter of personal opinion, taste is subjective, and subjective opinion should not be confused with objective fact. >>
