They gave it a name
Hearing about the economy on the news and seeing it effect my friends, family, and even my own life brings my attention to the allocation of the mighty ol’ dollar.
After leaving a midtown meeting the other day, my body told me that it was getting time to eat. I walked into the nearest deli, paused, turned around, got on the subway and headed up to my Inwood neighborhood where I purchased a sandwich from a local store. If I am going to purchase goods, I should at least be purchasing from my own community.
It’s the holidays and many of us will be buying gifts. As members of the entertainment industry wouldn’t it be smart of us to give a gift that supports our own professional community. Broadway shows, tours, even local art houses make fantastic and memorable gifts.
This all being said, go do your gift shopping !

I was just having this conversation with someone the other day. Why waste my money at the Gap when there are so many options that not only benefit the entertainment industry...but help spread the entertainment industry to those who might not be exposed to it otherwise. My family's giving each other memberships to TDF, Playbill, etc. for discount tickets and such.
