He breaks all the rules, jazzes it up, and revolutionizes the industry. He is a rock star. But if you were to ask him, he'd just say he's an SOB. I read his book "Confessions of an S.O.B" back in high school. I dreamed of one day working for Gannett. That's when I was interested in becoming a newspaperwoman. I thought the ultimate job would be working for USA Today (Neuharth founded USA Today, The Freedom Forum and the Newseum). I've certainly realized my dreams at a young age, working instead for Gannett's broadcast flagship station WUSA-TV as a reporter...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2010/03/i-met-my-idol-al-neuharth/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2010/03/discovery-life-oprah-the-baltimore-symphony-orchestra/ http://lindseymastis.com/2010/03/discovery-life-oprah-the-baltimore-symphony-orchestra/#comments Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:42:37 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=987 I got a sneak peek of the Discovery Channel's new series LIFE. I've never said the words "incredible" and "amazing" so much in one night. It was at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performed the soundtrack live. Oprah (who was not there) voiced the series. Altogether, it's going to be 11 hours. I'm a fan of Planet Earth (and have the series on Blu-Ray). Surprisingly, it's a really good date-night movie. Out of the Planet Earth series, the penguins are my favorite. I've only seen one episode of LIFE, and I'm torn between the octopus and the komodo dragon... ]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2010/03/discovery-life-oprah-the-baltimore-symphony-orchestra/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/09/twestival-dc-provides-10000-meals-for-miriams-kitchen/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/09/twestival-dc-provides-10000-meals-for-miriams-kitchen/#comments Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:32:45 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=804 The Twestival Celebration at MidTown Loft was a huge success. On September 10, tweeple in DC and in cities around the world got together to support local causes. Proceeds from the DC Twestival went to Miriam's Kitchen-- an organization that feeds the homeless. Altogether, we raised enough money for 10,000 meals-- that's a fifth of the meals they serve a year...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/09/twestival-dc-provides-10000-meals-for-miriams-kitchen/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/05/frederick-half-marathon/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/05/frederick-half-marathon/#comments Mon, 04 May 2009 04:12:26 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=514 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/05/frederick-half-marathon/feed/ 2 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/02/hearts-and-tails/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/02/hearts-and-tails/#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:11:39 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=293 After the DC Twestival, I headed over the Skye Lounge to hang with Angie Goff (OMG!) and friends.
