I was a little bummed to be missing out on the first presidential debate tonight... at least until the music started. Then I forgot all about it. Tonight was the 4th Annual Taste of Marti Gras Auction benefiting the American Red Cross at the Anchor Pub and Club. This fundraiser was the brain child of local chef Mick Hug. He "cooked up" the event to help those affected by the ...

Micky Dolenz is head-lining at the Alaska State Fair tonight. If you can't quite place the name, he was the "dreamy" one on a TV show called, "The Monkee's." I had such a kiddo crush on him! And now, here he is, IN ALASKA, getting ready to put on a show for the crowd at the fair. If you are in the Anchorage/Palmer area, you really must go to the fair... ...

It's on! The Alaska State Fair is back with a vengence. This is one of my favorite events of the year. Crafts, rides, bad-for-you-food, animals, music, kitch, and fun fun fun! The hard part is getting there. There is one road that goes North up to Palmer (The Glenn Highway). Normally, it would take just one hour to get there. When the fair is on, it is anyone's guess how ...

Who say's there's no such thing as a free lunch? Here in Anchorage, through August 24, the Port of Anchorage is conducting free tours, every half an hour, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Port is undergoing a huge expansion project. It is a well used year-round port that brings in about 5 million tons of goods through Anchorage each year. There is a one hour bus tour that ...

Some people don't have time for ordinary pursuits. Many of these heat seeking crazies end up in Alaska. It is a land of superlatives after all, so if you must have the tallest (McKinley, tallest Mountain in North America), the most (lakes over 20 acres in size), the biggest (parks/wilderness/untouched land) then this is the place to come. Alaskans are very close to our frontier past. Just one generation ago, ...

I am in the process of booking a high end flight-seeing tour for an upscale client. It's been a few years since I've been on one of these tours, so I've had to do a bit of research. There are some incredible new options out there for those of you who might want to do something amazing while visiting Alaska.

If you are on a cruise, there are a lot of ...

There are all kinds of conservative events going on in Anchorage right now, from ballet to opera, and from local theatre to "Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy" at the Performing Arts Center. You can get a cultural boost by going to the Alaska Native Heritage Center for a performance and visual art celebration or attend a lecture on animal behavior to learn to train you dog. BUT, if none of this ...
