So this is REALLY random, but its been bugging me for a while. I get a lot of emails from people saying that they want to be "apart" of my show. Im not trying to be a stickler or anything but, if someone says they want to be "apart" , that means they dont want to be a part of something.The definition of apart is
1. a. At a distance in place, position, or time: railings spaced two feet apart; born three years apart.
b. Away from another or others: grew apart over the years; decided to live apart.
2. In or into parts or pieces: split apart.
3. One from another: I can't tell the twins apart.
4. Aside or in reserve, as for a separate use or purpose: funds set apart for the project.
5. As a distinct item or entity: Quality sets it apart.
6. So as to except or exclude from consideration; aside: All joking apart, I think you're wrong.
adj. Set apart; isolated. Used after a noun or in the predicate: a people who have existed over the centuries as a world apart.

OK what they are TRYING to say is
"I want to be a part of your show"-
definition of part is-- something determined in relation to something that includes it

I wouldnt think of writing my blog about this topic if I didnt have COUNTLESS emails with this common error.

much love and respect-
Micaya

No more tix for Mission in the Mix

Ok I have been trying to tell you guys that the tickets to this show are very popular. If you did not get a ticket, here is my suggestion.
Come to the show on the night of your choice and place your name on the waiting list. This has been extremely successful in the past. Of course, we cant promise anything but almost evryone who have done this before was able to get in the show.
Love and Respect-
Micaya
