S3 Ep 3 - 23 March 2023 "Part 2: Ignorantia Juris Non Excusat Concludes" Dear Prismatic Queerdom, Alright, y’all. It’s been a while since I came to you all. And I thought I was going to be coming to you all monthly, but February had such huge curve balls thrown at me I had to reassess EV.ER.Y.THING! So I go into progress on The Waltz, and more specifically a grant we were up for but all...

Alright, y'all. Back with truly the 1st episode for the 3rd season - season 2 was really a wash.

They have some special events coming up that are not only fun but will help offset losses from their bigger events.

Part two of our interview with Alisa Chambers, director of operations for the Grant Park Conservancy, and also a Grant Park enthusiast. . .  She tells us about what Grant Park Conservancy does for the park (hint - it's a non-profit, not a government agency so they're entirely on their own funding wise!) .

Alright, y'all. Today is the last day before I go on hiatus. And, if you're not following along on Facebook, then you missed how this episode was recorded live! Yep, you read that correctly. There were some technical issues ( in the live broadcast, for instance, I had two mics accidentally running, and there was a horrible echo!). All the more reason to tune in when we come back from Winter hiatus...

Alright, y'all. Todays a bit of a soapbox day in trying to figure out ... why is Mitch McConnell a f***face? I don't come to a definitive answer, but I do gain/share some knowledge in researching a bit more about him.  ----------------------- The Ava Davis Show – a video blog that deigns to call itself a talk-show about entertainment, current events, self-care, art, acting and so much more.

Alright, y'all. Today is more of a dear diary type day, seeing as how it feels like I've got a low-grade depression or something. So, I talk about the lows of indie filmmaking, while also trying to somehow family plan and plan for gender confirmation surgery. It's a lot. But, it's all in bearing the lightness of being.  ----------------------- The Ava Davis Show – a video blog that deigns to...

Alright, y'all. Happy Monday. I recap the weekend, including the private screening for the Duchess of Grant Park (www.duchessofgrantpark.com) which went swimmingly! And then I talk about how resistant I am to change (but after this upload I may be sold on At&T Fibre!). And finally, a convo I had with my account manager about being black in America. As stated in the episode, here's a link to Jo...

Alright, y'all. It's Friday, which means we made it to the end of another week! Congrats!

Alright, y'all. I am figuring out this new system I have so I can interview people via zoom and keep it engaging and entertaining! So, I use my multicam set up to talk about still processing the whole Sundance loss, and taking comfort in the words of Mark Duplass and Ava DuVernay.  ----------------------- The Ava Davis Show – a video blog that deigns to call itself a talk-show about entertain...

Alright y'all. Yesterday got away from me, between work, meeting up for a socially distant tea and chat about class with Nicole, and then booking it to get home to rehearsal, I just ran out of time to record an episode. So, I apologize. But here is today's episode, just more about recovering from this weekend.  ----------------------- The Ava Davis Show – a video blog that deigns to call itse...

Alright, y'all. Today is a bit of a therapy day for me. And, don't worry, I'll be fine. Today is about acknowledging and sitting with uncomfortable emotions. And why Disney's Inside Out is incredibly helpful for kids of all ages, from 2 to 92, though apparently that's been said many times, many ways. So, yeah. Heard back from @sundance. Maybe next year!  ----------------------- The Ava Davis...
