Jürgen in the news....

Jürgen has been performing in Collaboraction's annual new play festival Sketchbook:08 for three weeks now and the response has been fantastic! TimeOut Chicago called him "excellent" Hedy Weiss with the Chicago Sun-Times called him "sensational." It's also a very exciting time for Ira (the playwright) because the piece, titled Dated: A Cautionary Tale for Facebook Users, has been picked up by a festival in DC which will perform later this summer. On top of being a critical and audience favorite in the festival the piece has also been asked to perform at the Chicago New Media Summit and at the Union League Club dinner. Here is a photo from the New Media Summit. The show closes this weekend but it has been a wonderful experience for all involved (even for Blair as her photos we included in the projection portion of the piece).

In other news we are excited summer has finally arrived. Blair traveled to NYC to meet up with her family to see her brother Neill in wacky version of Alice in Wonderland. She also had the chance to see her old friend (and maid of honor) Brittany!

Here is a picture of the Robertson clan (minus mom who was taking the photo) having High Tea in honor of Neill's show!


We will be traveling to Louisville the weekend of June 28th and to Maryland in July for a week to celebrate Jürgen's 26th birthday!

Wedding planning is going well. We have secured several old time trolley cars to transport guests from the Church to the reception site. We think this will be a fun way to travel. The menu tasting will happen in a few weeks, and seeing as how one of our favorite pastimes is to EAT we are very excited about this. Blair continues to look for things to "check-off" but apparently you can only do so much in advance. Some things will simply have to wait until closer to the time. She will do her best to contain herself!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! Keep in touch!
