As you know the summer season has started in the DMV. This is the time where our local area conventions start to crop up. This July, Shore Leave, the longest running fan run convention is celebrating its fortieth anniversary and they have an amazing roster including William Shatner, Ming-Na Wen and Shawn Ashmore to name a few.

On Friday, June 23, 2018 Richard Marx came to Annapolis MD to the Maryland Hall of the Creative Arts. I have been a fan of Richard Marx since his first album. Loved his album so much that I had to take the CD back to the store three time to exchange it because there was an issue with the CD. In the late 80’s I saw Richard Marx in concert when he opened for The Hooters for a Toys for Tots concert. I am fans of both, but think I was more excited to see Richard Marx than the Hooters.
