A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the bewitching atmosphere of jam-packed movie theaters. Only one other state of theatrical exhibition compares to the electric tension of being part of that crowd: empty cineplex screening rooms. Let's face it, we've all been there.

This summer I bussed tables at a restaurant in Chicago. I worked 12-hour shifts scraping plates, carrying stacks of glasses, wiping tables and sneaking cigarettes when I took the trash out back. What's important about this little anecdote is not that I wasn't allowed a smoke break on a 12-hour shift (I'm pretty sure that's illegal), but that my stolen moments outside prompted a newfound appreciation of the great outdoors.

The crowd sits in silence, though everyone is growing more and more anxious. There are equal parts family, friends, and students scattered throughout the Mabel Tainter Theater on the fall-like September night. The lights dim and all three members of The Daredevil Christopher Wright take the stage.

While fashion capitals of the world are in the midst of fall fashion week, those of us in central Wisconsin are no longer forced to be stuck in the dark. For the first time, a major fashion show featuring lighting, special effects, choreography and even an afterparty with high profile DJs will be put on at the Ramada Convention Center in Eau Claire.
