We’ve been busy… very busy! This Time Tomorrow is keeping us busy, and it’s for a good cause.

For a bit of history on the This Time Tomorrow project, here’s an explanation in Cory Zimmermann’s own words:

In 2001, Dick Ticcioni and I were working together at an advertising agency when he was diagnosed with Lymphoma following a hernia examination. Though Dick remained positive, I was devastated that I couldn’t do more to help him through his difficult time. It was the bitterest inspiration I’ve ever received, but it gave me an idea for a song, which I recorded that night in my home studio despite a 102-degree fever. I would become the first of many motivated by Dick’s courage.

A group of Milwaukee-area photographers are working together to give something back to the community this year…

Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers, coming together in every major city, to use their photography skills to give back to the community. On December 12th, photographers around the world will be grabbing their cameras, finding people in need, and taking their picture.When the prints are ready, the photographs get delivered. Yep. It really is that easy.

Bocce is a bowling-type sport typically played outdoors, but we’re bringing it indoors at the InterContentntal Milwaukee. (Wikipedia has a good explanation of bocce if you want more details.)

We play in the lobby, and it’s just a few yards from CLEAR if you need any drinks or dinner to complement your game.

Play ball in the house with indoor bocce ball at InterContinental Milwaukee on Tuesday nights through December 1, 2009 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
