Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

To kick off this amazing show, grades k-6 sang “Bring on the Snow”. The theme for this year was very different from past performances. It was called “Bring on the Snow”. The whole show was not a play about someone who saves Christmas. It was more of a variety show. The cast portrayed many odd yet fun characters--everything from a deer head, to a goose, to a knock knock joker.

  • Countdown to Christmas: Four Days Left: Wisdom from Saint Peter
    Countdown to Christmas: Four days left: Wisdom from Saint Peter Canisius, first day of winter, Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter,’ today’s O Antiphon and prayer, and more great Christmas music It’s almost Christmas… (Photo by Patti Murphy Dohn) “If you have too much to do, with God’s help you will find time to do it all.” — St. Peter Canisius (1521-1597), whose feast we celebrate today, December 21 Great advice from today’s saint, especially during this hurried week Saint Peter Canisius (1521-1597) ——- Introduction: In the last Advent days leading up to Christmas, I will share some reflections, prayers, and music for you to enjoy during this very hectic holiday season. “Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.” —Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) It’s the first day of winter: Comedian Steve Martin once joked “A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.” But it is bright and sunny today and thus hard to believe that it is December 21, the first official day of winter. Almost 60 degrees here in Bel Air…. The Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, comes today at 12:11 p.m. (EST). I heard that we will have 9 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. I’m not a fan of winter, so I will be counting down the days until Spring, be assured. My dear friend Sue, who just retired in June after many years teaching English on the high school and college levels, posted one of her favorite passages this morning from Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter’ from “Walden.” She especially loves the last sentence, as do I!! Enjoy… “Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut …my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.

  • Pentatonix: Using Social Media for Consistent Virality
    Sean O’Connor DSG 630 Dr. Jones 1 April 2015 Pentatonix: Using Social Media for Consistent Virality With the creation of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and other forms of online social media, individuals seeking to break into the music industry have a wider open door than ever before, and one band that has done this successfully in the last few years is the innovative vocal quintet Pentatonix. As the group has promoted itself online and formed a personal relationship with its fans, Pentatonix has been able to consistently create viral content. The band first created a massive following on the television show The Sing-Off in 2011, and they ultimately won the competition. However, Mitch Grassi, one of the band’s singers, recognized, “Reality show stars can be a bit of a flash in the pan because the next reality show comes along and people quickly forget about them. But we wanted to make sure that we maintained our presence in the music industry.” (Brunner, 2014) The solution was to create an even greater fan base online and creating a personal connection with the viewers of their content. Their main avenue of releasing new content was through YouTube, mostly with covers and medleys of previously recorded songs. Although this is a strategy used by thousands of other YouTube users and musicians, Pentatonix’s unique instrumentation helped them stand out. But in addition, each video ends with the band addressing the viewer, thanking them for watching and encouraging them to subscribe to their YouTube channel and watch more of their videos, as well as check out their website.
