We’ve added two new members to the Corinthian Events family – to learn a little bit more about them, keep reading!

Victoria joined the Corinthian Events team in May. Since graduating from Manhattan College in 2009, she has been on the hunt for the perfect job and is psyched to have found it with CE, back in her native Beantown! Victoria worked on several events in New York City over the last few years and really developed a passion for event planning. She looks forward to applying the skills she honed in NYC to upcoming events in the Boston area and learning all that she can from the highly skilled Corinthian Events team. When she’s not helping plan all of your fabulous events, she hopes to be sitting under a palm tree somewhere. If that isn’t possible, you’ll probably find her strolling around Boston in search of the city’s best cupcakes or enjoying a nice meal with family and friends.

JFOUND: Callender, Gina (2000) is doing an update

Hi everyone,

There’s a new henna gallery up on my website! Please stop by and check it out. Also, I am looking to revamp my website…stay tuned for the new look!

Namaste,
Gina

*** and ***

My name is Gina Callender and I have been binding books and making soap since 2000. I started by taking a bookbinding class from an SCA East Kingdom University Event taught by Countess Aidan ni Leir. From there, I read books and did research on-line. I was also interested in how people actually made soap and I did research on that as well.

One thing lead to another and I found myself selling my wares at the Stockwood Renaissance Faire in 2001. Later in the year, I sold my wares at the Connecticut Renaissance Faire (formally Olde World Renaissance Faire). I also work at the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, NY at the Henna Booth.

   * Some of my interests include: SCA

   * The Silver Horde, my SCA persona belongs to this household

   * VDK, my SCA persona also belongs to this household, since I became an apprentice to Mistress Michel Almond de Champagne.

   * Chinese culture & calligraphy

   * Calligraphy & Illumination

   * Japanese Stab Bookbinding

   * Viking Wire knitting

   * Cross Stitching

   * Crocheting

   * Glass Lamp work beads

   * And many more things that I don’t have time for

You’ve Been Gone for Eight Years and Five Months

*** begin quote ***

It is November of 1980, and
The Philosopher says that Love
is the child of Plenty and Want.
You’ve been gone for eight years and five months,

but you’re with me wherever I go -
you’re with me at Manhattan College;
you’re with me in Philosophy 101;
you’re with me at the end of the beginning.

*** end quote ***

*** begin quote ***

J.R. McCarthy is a large and sweaty man from the Bronx. He currently resides in a reasonably safe neighborhood called Bronxville, with Tricia, his beautiful and virtuous wife. He is a high school teacher by trade, an author by aspiration, and by his own admission, something of a windbag. Recently, he came to grips with the fact that he would never achieve his lifelong goal of becoming a child prodigy. The rest is silence – not! J.R. McCarthy’s first slim volume, “AMBIVALID and BACK IN THE HOLY BRONX” is available from Serious Ink Press, the lively publishing arm of ARTISTSILOVE.COM. J.R. loves you, but if you don’t visit ARTISTSILOVE.COM each day, you simply don’t love him. Wink at someone homely today.
