Are you in the film or theatre industry? Come and meet with others like you!

Are you in the film or theatre industry?
Yes!
Then come and meet with others like you!

I have initiated a group for anyone in the entertainment industry or wants to be. If you've never done anything even remotely in this area, you are still welcome.

Maybe you have a project in the early stages and are looking for Actors and Extras. Maybe you need a sound person or a makeup person?

This group is primarily to create a space where people within the industry can come together and chat about what they do and what they may want to do in the future. This is where communions can begin. Where actors and production people can collaborate. Where ideas can be worked over and funneled into an actual project!

Come along, invite anyone else you think may be interested. Even if you just like chatting to people in the industry, that's ok, come for a drink and a meal too if you like.

See you all there!

Nice was actually not so nice in the 1300s

Nice, it turns out, began as a negative term derived from the Latin nescius meaning “ignorant.” This sense of ignorant was carried over into English, and for almost a century, nice was used to refer to a stupid, ignorant, or foolish person. Starting in the late 1300s, nice began to refer to conduct, people, or clothing that were considered excessively luxurious or lascivious, however, by the year 1400 a new, more neutral sense of nice emerged. At this time, nice could be used to refer to a person who was finely dressed, someone who was shy or reserved, or something that was precise. By the late 1500s, nice was used to describe refined, polite society.
