Way Gone Wednesdays: Tweedy

In case you didn't know, Tweedy is a family band of sorts. Dad Jeff Tweedy and son Spencer have been working on music together (which is pretty much the most adorable thing ever). The video for their debut single, "Low Key" was directed by Nick Offerman and features Michael Shannon, John Hodgman and a host of Chicago celebs. Dig it. 

Way Gone Wednesdays: Nick Offerman

Next week, the Celebration Company at the Station Theatre in Urbana, IL will launch its 40th season.  I've been frequenting the Station for close to 15 years now.  My wife has starred in several productions (Eurydice, My Name is Rachel Corrie, Whitey, and Suburbia, among others).  I myself have composed some original compositions (Couples Counseling Killed Katie) and my son lent his voice as the boy in Rabbit Hole.  Depsite this history, it was only yesterday that I realized Nick Offerman was a Station veteran.  You may know him as Ron Swanson on NBC's Parks and Recreation.  Nick cut his teeth on our tiny little community stage.  Way gone.
