If you haven’t seen The Casilio Sisters video on the documentary channel then check it out - these women were amazing. And equally amazing were Rick and Tod (the Kaiser and the Director). There was so much great footage from the shoot that it was hard for us to keep it as short as we did - though I’m pretty sure it’s still the longest feature on OurStage to date.

Rick just has this passion for his art (and he creates it in many forms as you can see from his website) that oozes from every pore. Tod is loquacious, hip and super sweet. And the sisters (Kate, Alicia & Sara) are beautiful, smart and have this infectious laugh that just keeps you smiling the whole time. What these people are doing, both together and on their own - is taking art and making it a true statement of identity and I have no doubt that they will find a way to make it work for them. This is one of those things that, as an EJ, was super cool to be a part of. Hope you enjoy the brunch! (PS: check out the Wonder Spice cafe in JP if you’re ever in Boston, their Thai food was INCREDIBLE … not to mention the ever delicious Thai Iced Teas).

Side note: People always say “the camera adds ten pounds” … but I think in my case, because I spend all my time eating … the ten pounds just jump right on - on their own

Note #2: trucks & trucks & trucks & trucks …. yeah I’m special
