I am excited to present the first part of a six-part series featuring those special people who make art and entertainment out of folding air into latex balloons. Our conversations centered on making a living doing art, how they started in the biz and their creative processes. Laypeople and twisters alike will enjoy these fantastic conversations.

Tawney and Lanna talk about balloon twisting, performance and living the artist’s life. They tease each other about adult stuff and dish on balloon dresses. Tawney explains how she started in the biz. And she answers 10 questions.

Tawney Bubbles

So who is Tawney Bubbles? She’s the luckiest girl in the whole wide world, that’s who. At nearly 18, an eager faced little high school graduate set out for higher education. Turns out, college is really expensive. Reluctantly, she had to get a job. In a move that was part joke, and part rebellion, she became a clown (her mom is very proud).

Four years, well maybe five years, okay five and a half years later, she had her degree. She contemplated a real job, but after careful reflection, eventually said, “$!@#% that!” She’s been playing with balloons ever since.

LLL045 LLLSalon Get Out of the Car Inspiration is Hard Work

Here is our second LLLSalon night! Our theme was Inspiration. Gennifer, Allie, Edmund, Keith, Candace and I talk about how inspiration is a lot of hard work and that you need to get out of the car every now and again.

Historically a Salon is a intellectual gathering where the hostess gathers a group of interesting people together to discuss politics, literature, art, music and other topics of the day. It would last over a long dinner which included several courses. These salons attracted the intellectual elite and were meant to educate and amuse their guests. I always loved the idea of a good salon. People wielded power in salons.

Each Lounging with LannaLee episode acts as if it were a mini-salon, with me and one or two guests. When I Lounged with Candace Karu I told her of my dream: to do a larger scale lounge. And to my great surprise and immense pleasure, she volunteer to host a dinner party at her house so we could do this.

Inspirations: Drums, Poetry, Life

It’s time for some inspiration for the new year. Here are three conversations that inspire me. Steve, a conservation biologist, and I talk about how he helps his students tell stories about ecology and he tells a story of how he came to collaborate/help start the Ghana Antelope Project. TLOVE and I talk about poetry, and she performs my favorite of her poems. And Rob Gould (@bobbbyg) answers 10 questions like nobody’s business.

Mya Achmatowicz Lounged with LannaLee and got a couch!

Mya Achmatowicz wants to never grow up. The night before the new year, Mya and Lanna sit down to chat about writing, books and movies. Mya gives her reasons for a career in writing and explains why she’s sticking with the traditional publishing route. And she answers 10 questions.

Mya Achmatowicz

Mya is an author of young adult fantasy, the darker and twistier the better. She grew up in the wilds of Michigan and Maine, which is probably why even her love stories are full of blood. Her chief vices are coffee, books, and The Vampire Diaries, with a side of Gossip Girl.

It’s time for a very special Holiday edition of Lounging with LannaLee! Plus it features some of my favorite comics.

If you are like me, you could use a laugh today. I figured I’d check out the archives to cull out some favorite conversations I’ve had with my comedian friends, Jim Lauletta, George Hamm, Bob Marley and Rachel Flehinger, and share them here with you.

In this episode, Jim tells me how he really felt about The Phantom Menace and Jar Jar Binks; George and I reminisce about a raucous trip to the Boston Combat Zone; Bob regales me with his death wish; and Rachel answers 10 questions like a boss.

Luke and Will Lounged with LannaLee and got couches!

In a sketchy band practice room, Luke, Will and Lanna talk about growing up in Piscataquis County, high school politics, and the creative life. Will gets all existential. Luke chooses not to be miserable. Will and Luke extol the virtues of touring and hanging with Six Guys in a van. And they answer 10 questions.

Luke Mallett

One of two members of MBB that’s a son of famed folk singer David Mallett, Luke began playing music as soon as he could walk. In the Mallett house, with instruments perpetually slumbering on various pieces of furniture like cats, it was easy enough. Early forays on the piano and bass guitar placed him in a number of hardcore bands in high school before he eventually joined Lab Seven, long regarded as one of the premier hip hop acts in Portland, Maine; and, finally, Boombazi, where he joined Leen and Soule in the mid-2000’s. A lyrical firehose, Luke’s hip hop background is credited by some as the source of his distinctive vocal and lyrical style that makes him one of the favorite vocalists (of any genre) in the Portland, Maine music scene.

Will Mallett

Will Mallett, Cosmopolitan Magazine’s “Maine’s Hottest Bachelor” of 2011, is one of MBB’s primary songwriters, contributing musically on acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, and lead and backup vocals. He co-founded the Mallett Brothers Band along with Luke and Nick in 2009. He enjoys swimming in rivers and long rides in vans.
