Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think the distinction is that what's authentic local style need not be what an authentic local craves.
Yeah, that's how I read it. Unless there's a statue of me in front of city hall, what I like doesn't isn't likely to have a whole lot to do with what my hometown is famous for.
Laga is from Chicago. I wonder if pizza "norms" have changed? Or maybe it's a regional thing within the city?
There is also Chicago style thin crust. Laga and Kathy aren't wrong about that. But when people outside of Chicago talk about "Chicago Style" they are talking about the deep dish.
Hell knows I hate crab and yet here I've lived over a decade, crabcake central. Longertermers than me cringe in horror at that admission. Sorry, I spent my formative years never developing a taste for seafood. Now if you ask me about green chile, I can kick your ass six or a billion ways from sunday. No one does enchiladas, gorditas, green chile menudo, salsas, rellenos or green tamales righter than a southern NMican, damnit. Hell, no one does green chile righter, period.
Has anyone ever done voice lessons? I'm doing guitar lessons right now but I always find myself wanting to sing more than play the guitar. I guess I don't really know what I'm asking, just wondering if anyone has had any good experiences with voice lessons. Are they worth it to a total amateur who pretty much only sings in the shower or car.
Dear 9th Graders:
It's been real. Have a nice life.I love you, Ginger. And you did actually inspire me. The letter has been written and is printing out right now.
This hockey game is going to kill me. Seven minutes left in the second overtime.
Both goaltenders are standing on their heads and making some phenomenal saves. Too bad the refs are in Pittsburgh's pocket.
My husband (who, in the interest of full disclosure, is like me an Obama supporter) imagines the current state of the Democratic primaries as Game 7 of the ALCS: [link]

I've taken voice lessons and would take again. The teacher I had knew my goals and really helped me out. Are they worth it? Depends on your goals and your money. A good voice teacher is at least $20 for a half hour lesson. I took hour long lessons twice per week, but it was while I was in undergrad. I had to pay an extra fee (o top of tuition), but it was nominal.

That's not you?
Thanks ChiKat,
I think I might look into it.
