Meghan Jones demystifies deep-sea creatures in children's book 'The Unusual Ocean' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a child, Meghan Jones was known for two things: Making something artistic, in any manner of mediums and always having a cool science fact on hand. Interested in biology and natural sciences as a kid, Jones was a big reader and took pleasure in collecting these fun facts. She’d go to school ready to share a fact with a friend, thinking, “I learned this cool thing and I’m going to give it to you, this small nugget of information.” But that offering rarely landed how she hoped. “I didn’t really
Years of dedication bring comedian Gary Owen to the First Interstate Center for the Arts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A tried-and-true class clown, Gary Owen always knew he wanted to be a comedian, but he didn’t know how to make that happen. What he did know was that every time a stand up comedian was performing on TV, he would stop in his tracks and watch. “An Evening at the Improv,” “Def Comedy Jam,” HBO comedy specials from the likes of Eddie Murphy and Sam Kinison, “In Living Color” – he absorbed as much comedy as he could.

Coming from a family of crafters, sewers, knitters, architects, builders, interior designers and stained glass makers, Schnurr was put on a creative path practically the moment she was born, but second grade is where things really clicked. Her art teacher had prints of works by renowned artists like Degas, Monet, Mondrian, Reubens and Matisse hung around the classroom, and something about being surrounded by those greats made Schn
'Queer Eye' star Jonathan Van Ness brings 'Hot and Healed' tour to the Bing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jonathan Van Ness is known for hair – their own, the magic they work on others, their haircare line. You get the point. Before they became a well-known public figure, thanks to their time as one of the Fab Five on the reboot of “Queer Eye,” Van Ness was a hairstylist in Los Angeles. While styling friend Erin Gibson’s hair, Van Ness would recap episodes of “Game of Thrones” for Gibson, who worked for comedy website Funny or Die. She told Van Ness, “This is a webseries.
