The Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium was set up for a fashion show Friday night.
The Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium may be the most flexible interior space in the city. We’ve seen it used for class lectures, film screenings, music concerts, and next week it will be the site for TEDx Syracuse University. Last night the venue was adapted for the 2014 Fashion and Beauty Communications Milestone Fashion Show.
Wonder if anyone has used it for a wedding ceremony yet?
Word on the Street
Friday, April 4th, 2014“Poetry is alive; poetry is important…poetry is not a luxury”
Georgia A. Popoff
Author Georgia A. Popoff read and discussed her poetry Thursday night at the new Point of Contact Gallery. She is the workshop coordinator for the Downtown Writers Center.
Point of Contact (Punto de Contacto) is still located on the Connective Corridor,but the gallery has officially moved to the Nancy Cantor Warehouse on West Fayette Street. The street-level location was buzzing last night for the poetry reading and book fair kick-off. The audience included students, local authors, artists and SU staff members.
We found the lighting less adequate than the former location (East Genesee Street), but the new space is more inviting and eclectic.
Each Thursday this month, the gallery will host a new writer to celebrate National Poetry Month.

Sometimes the word style just doesn’t give enough description.
We had the pleasure of meeting dapper professor Michael Sickler at a poetry event along the Connective Corridor last night. He is one of the featured poets who will be presenting at the Downtown Writers Center next week (April 11).

Opening Day Hat
Opening day for the Syracuse Chiefs was full of energy, excitement, and possibilities despite the loss to 4-1 loss to Scranton/Wilkes Barre. The long lines and carnival atmosphere almost made you forget it was a chilly 48 degrees on Thursday.
The new management has made an concerted effort to bring some excitement to Triple-A baseball here in the city. We hope it lasts.
Chiefs New GM Jason Smorol was full of passion and enthusiasm during his pre-game remarks.

Style Award: Biscuit Heads on Opening Day
Dale and Marion Ladd of Central Square showed up at NBT Bank Stadium today to support Billy Gardner, Jr. Gardner was making his debut as a Triple-A manager for the Syracuse Chiefs.
The biscuit hats, according to Marion (whose family is from down South) were a shout out to Gardner’s former team, the Montgomery Biscuits. While with Montgomery in 2012, Gardner was the Southern League’s Manager of the Year.
