Gabrielle Bouliane
Three-time Grammy-award winner and folk artist Shawn Colvin is coming to the Tralf Music Hall, with special guest Noa Bursie, this Tuesday evening. Colvin is promoting her ninth album in her nearly thirty-year career, These Four Walls. "I'm very proud of this record," Colvin says. "You put your head down and do the work and, when all is said and done, you see what you've come up with. I remember when I finally had a CD with twelve of these tracks, when I could just listen to them all together, and I realized, this is better than I thought it could be. I've been doing this a long time and it's great to feel like I'm doing my best work now."

Coming up in the next couple of weeks we will be holding some preliminary meetings to discuss what sort of merchandise we will be accepting into the future flea market/bazaar. So far we have made mention that books, and vintage clothing would be big hits, but we need a complete laundry list of products if we are going to put together a comprehensive plan.
The list can also include suggestions for food, music, entertainment, etc. Hopefully you will be the customer that will support this type of venture, so why not give us an idea as to what sort of things you would be interested in seeing?

And while you're out personalizing all that surrounds you, creating a comfortable space of your own no matter where you roam, why not send the world a message that means something.
Coexist, the above label, can be found at Terrapin Station displayed on both t-shirts and bumper stickers. It is a call for tolerance and understanding in an increasingly hectic and divided world. Each of the letters in the word "coexist" represent a different system of thought - from the cresent and star for Islam (C) to the cross for Christianity (t). The blue bumper stickers are just $2, and the t-shirts (in a variety of colors) cost $17.50. I have …

Dermalogica products are all the rage. The high-end salons in the 'burbs carry them and they are very popular amongst the well-coiffed Beverly Hills set. If you generally dismiss items that can be defined in such a manner, don't brush past this one. This revolutionary skin care line is now available in the city at Karma Salon & Spa.
Karma offers many treatments; some can be qualified as maintenance, others as extravagant. The range of goods they carry is ample without being overwhelming. This selection includes the full Dermalogica line, which is both luxurious and necessary.
