About this Blog

The title, "The Moody Bugle," comes from a series of letters my Grandmother wrote during World War II to her five sons in the military and her two daughters. The "Bugle" was eight pieces of onion skin typing paper, with seven pieces of carbon paper between them, jammed into a Royal typewriter with the platen open. One copy went into the family file, the other seven went to the various postings of sons and daughters around the world. Once, every seven weeks, you'd be the one who got the final, hard to read, copy. When my grandmother died in the late 1960s, my grandfather gave these letters to me. I treasure them still and hope, that in some small way, these electronic musings will somehow match the heart, humor and humanity found in those original letters.

Basically, friends, we're going to cover everything, whatever is on my mind or yours. Jump in!

TWO SMOKIN' DEALS!

Posted by Greg_Moody

Two Beating the Recession Ideas to keep in mind.

First, remember that the Denver Center Theatre Company is offering two tix to A Raisin in the Sun for only $44! Smokin' deal! Just go online at denvercenter.org and click on Promo Code at the top of the page. When you see the little box, type in CBS4. That will get you the SPECIAL CBS4 deal because we love you and want you to be not only happy but to see great theater. It's just like why God invented beer.

Also -- head to denver2for1tix.com. Visit Denver is corralling all sorts of arts and cultural organizations and getting them to offer two-for-one ticket deals. The places, shows and venues change each week so there's something different to explore and enjoy. This is a brillliant idea which, they promised me, would be on-going. Not just a hit and miss kind of thing. In the first week there are deals from the Denver Center, Museo de las Americas, Curious Theatre, HiDive, Swallow Hill and many others. Sign up for their email alerts so you won't miss out on anything!

Severe coolness!

(Boy, that didn't sound anywhere near as 80's in my head as it did when I wrote it down.)
