"Heels and Reels" great girlfriends getaway

Heels N Reels "Heels and Reels" is a great opportunity for the girlfriends to getaway to Shreveport-Bossier: Louisiana's Other Side.

The event is held on the final Tuesday night of every month, with cocktails and dinner service beginning at 5:30 p.m. The film screening begins at 6:30 p.m. Guests at each month's event vote to select the upcoming film. What's more interactive than that?

Attire is come-as-you-are, and the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. The next upcoming "Heels and Reels" is Tuesday, July 27. The price is $15. Call 318-459-4122 to order.

The Robinson Film Center, located at 617 Texas Street in downtown Shreveport, showcases international, independent, and classic cinema. It also serves as a resource for filmmaking and film education, which is prolific in the Shreveport-Bossier area. The dining experience at Abby Singer Bistro, also, is as varied and delectable as the movie experience.

Check out the RFC blog about all the film projects scheduled for 2010.


Let me introduce you to ShreveBo

Let me introduce you to ShreveBo "Who is ShreveBo? My friend, I've been asked that question time and again and sometimes the question is more complex than the answer. But the story, and there's one hell of a story, is always just a little different each time it's told...

It all started one cold, rainy Shreveport-Bossier evening. My momma was a cocktail waitress with sunlit rings of hair like Sally Struthers on a hot day. As luck would have it – being this is a gambling town – momma just happened to be workin' that stormy evening at the Horseshoe. She was tending to drinks around the craps table and all seemed just as it should for the evening, folks carrying-on and such.

Do Your Heart Some Good With Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby They say laughter does the heart good, well make your heart sing with Bill Cosby at Horseshoe Casino and Hotel, Friday, July 23.

There have been few entertainers who have achieved the legendary status of Cosby. His successes span five decades and virtually all media.

In the 1960s, his stand-up act was a coast-to-coast sensation, spawning a string of best-selling comedy albums, which went on to win eight Gold Records, five Platinum records and five Grammy Awards. In the 1980s, he rocked the television world with The Cosby Show, a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful television series.

Tickets cost $55-$65. Call 800-895-0711 to order.
