Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too! Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know it, there are tons of people lik …

This group schedules gatherings for those interested in having more cosmopolitan outings in Brownstone Brooklyn. The group pairs vanguard art, music, theater, dance and fashion with drinks and fine dining in Brooklyn. Why? Answer: Balance. I love Park Slope—cute Sunday brunches, strolls through the city’s best park, comedy nights, etc.; there are few other places in which I would dream to live. However, Park Slope is also very relaxed and I don't want to venture into Manhattan or fly to Europe e …

"Blessed he that reads, and they that hear..." begins the Revelation, no doubt referring to such a 'public' reading. The practice of "following along" in our readily avail …
