Earlier today, I was on a (rare) excursion out of the office with a single goal in mind: start stocking up on holiday reading now, so I can start fictionfest 2015 as soon as 9 a.m. on Christmas Eve rolls around and I have a few days off from work. I headed down Chapel Street […]
Happy Hanukkah Y’all! – Lucy Gellman
Hello Elm Citizens! Lucy here. This week, I was caught up producing a special episode of my food show about latkes on WNHH Radio, which called, of course, for a lot of beta testing in the kitchen. So much so, actually, that I still feel a little like a potatoey ball of vegetable oil. While […]
Yale Medical Symphony Orchestra – Lucy Gellman
Hey New Haveners! Lucy here, for a short post this week.

If you see José around, congratulate him on a great show. He’s definitely distinguished […]
Bad Songs, Good Night – Lucy Gellman
Hey New Haveners! Lucy here for a very short post this week. Last Friday marked the New Haven Theater Company’s first ever “Worst Song Ever” contest, something that I’m hoping will soon become an annual tradition. Wailing, soulful ballads were covered at the height of parody; lyrics were botched, or replaced with deep and resonant […]
