New Haircut

So, we have a new look here at Butts in the Seats. Things are still under construction as I work to figure out how to use this new version of Movable Type. My main motivation for upgrading was that I was getting nearly 1000 spam comments a day and I heard MT 4 had better spam filters.

Well, I haven’t gotten any yet.

I was also thinking it was about time that I upgraded the look to take advantage of new features blogging software have these days.

I will be poking around improving the look over time. Today is my only day off until Thanksgiving so some of the changes will be slow in coming.

On the positive side, you can make your visits to the site a game and try to discover what changes I have made each day!

I have been writing Butts in the Seats (BitS) on topics of arts and cultural administration since 2004 (yikes!). Given the ever evolving concerns facing the sector, I have yet to exhaust the available subject matter. In addition to BitS, I am a founding contributor to the ArtsHacker (artshacker.com) website where I focus on topics related to boards, law, governance, policy and practice.

I am also an evangelist for the effort to Build Public Will For Arts and Culture being helmed by Arts Midwest and the Metropolitan Group (details).

My most recent role is as Theater Manager at the Rialto in Loveland, CO.

Among the things I am most proud are having produced an opera in the Hawaiian language and a dance drama about Hawaii's snow goddess Poli'ahu while working as a Theater Manager in Hawaii. Though there are many more highlights than there is space here to list.
