Cirque Shanghai Extreme… IS Extremely Amazing!

July 11, 2011 by Edward Silha

Cirque Shanghai is back this summer, but it's even more EXTREME than you might remember. If you haven't seen the show at the Navy Pier, than it's a 'must see' this summer. It's a perfect thing to take a date-- or the entire family! You'll laugh, you'll gasp, you'll be so amazed that you'll clap uncontrollably and lean over to whoever you came with and say something like, "HOW did they do that?!?!?" I watched these performers maneuver themselves in and out of barrels like it was no tough task. This act consisted of 3 young girls dressed in striped outfits who could clearly contort their body in any position necessary. Personally, I have … [Read more...]

I know, I know, it's Monday morning and you're barely functioning. Depending on how bad the weekend was you might be finally reading your Bible making lots of promises to Yahweh/God/Allah that involve behavior you've never, not even once, exhibited. Or maybe your thanking the officer for not tasing you as your lawyer tries to explain to the judge that it was all a harmless prank and, let's be fair, the two strippers and the pony are going to be just fine and the trampoline could be replaced. On the other hand, maybe you're like the couple in Florida who decided it would be a GREAT idea to have sex on a 30 foot high dive at a public pool. … [Read more...]

Cirque Eloize ID

April 30, 2011 by Edward Silha

If anyone knows me, they know when I love something, I *LOVE* it. And one of the fun things in life that I have just fallen in love when Cirque de Soleil is involved. Any time there's one in town, I jump at the chance to go and see it and that goes for anything that's Cirque-related as well. So when my producer asked if I wanted to go and see the Cirque Eloize ID show that's currently playing at the Cadillac Theatre, I quickly told my girlfriends that they now had an extra Cubs ticket for the game that night! I didn't know what to expect because this was not your usual Cirque de Soleil experience, but that just added to my … [Read more...]

The Rehearsal of a NUDE HIPPO!

January 10, 2011 by Edward Silha

For the first time ever, go behind the scenes of a rehearsal for the half-hour version of NUDE HIPPO. See what happens between the talent and crew as they prepare for the offbeat magazine-style talk show! This was a fictional scripted concept of the weekly program. During the decade run on cable, there was never a rehearsal for any episode of NUDE HIPPO, (and it showed). However, if one actually did happen, this was what the producers thought one would look like. The story follows inter-office romance, dramatic encounters among fellow cast members and the behind the scenes confessions about one another. This program featured not … [Read more...]

This is a real commercial? Really? Come on…

January 6, 2011 by Edward Silha

So I was relaxing on my couch the other night, soaking up what was left of the holiday break when a commercial came on with a woman whose look on her face said that she meant business...she then proceeded to let me know that it's time to talk about what we want from our toilet paper. Oh. Seriously? You really want to talk about *that* kind of business? I watched the commercial half-smiling, half-horrified while "Moms" all pow-wowed about what their families *really* need from their toilet paper. I was just bewildered that the idea for such a dumb campaign entered someone's mind, was thought out and then presented to the powers-that-be at … [Read more...]

Back in 2007, NUDE HIPPO: YOUR CHICAGO SHOW was winding down an amazing run on cable after a decade. So when asked what were they going to do now, the response was simple; "We're going to Disney World!" Tony Lossano, Amy Zanglin & Damaris Woodbury packed their bags and met up with the Florida NUDE HIPPO production team to tape three weeks worth of episodes at the four main parks at Walt Disney World, while staying and showcasing three of the Disney Resorts. The team did reports from Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and the Magic Kingdom. On camera, they rode on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Tower of Terror & a … [Read more...]

Chicago Firehouse Dogs

December 28, 2010 by Edward Silha

Amy Zanglin takes the book "The Firefighter's Best Friend Lives and Legends of Chicago Firehouse Dogs" with author Trevor Orsinger and brings it to TV. Lake Claremont Press wrote: Working dogs are an often-overlooked segment of the canine population. The Firefighter's Best Friend provides a rare look into a specific type of these dogs—those who have lived or currently live in the firehouses of Chicago. From the mutts in the 1870s who led the horse-drawn fire wagons, to citywide heroes, to the contemporary dogs that provide security, assistance, and companionship to today's firefighters, the history and lore of Chicago firedogs is as … [Read more...]
