To stay on the map you've got to keep showing up.
Whether it's on top of a phone booth or a $200 million soundstage, it's about stories.
I made my Broadway debut in the revival of Hair and followed it up with the bus and truck tour of Grease.

In an attempt to amuse my friends and family, I would do impressions of Dean Martin, singing Everybody Loves Somebody. I secretly really enjoyed singing the song.

A competitive threat is not the same thing as an antitrust violation… It is difficult to make out FairSearch’s precise antitrust arguments. There are alternatives to ITA’s software: both the GDSs but also upstarts such as the U.K.’s Everbread Ltd., which has relationships with 60 low-cost carriers, and Vayant Travel Technologies LLC of New York.
