#IMOMSOHARD began as a popular web series by real-life best friends, comedians, and moms Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley. One night, over a glass of wine and some tears of frustration, these two friends decided to tell a different kind of story. With a camera, two husbands, a babysitter, and bottomless mimosas, Kristin and Jen decided to speak openly about their fears and failures – and to prove that the only way to survive motherhood is through laughter and friendship. The video was a smash hit, sparking an online community of two million highly engaged followers. This was exactly what they’d suspected all along, and now they’d found validation – moms and women everywhere need to laugh and be heard.
Kristin and Jen went on to create weekly videos about everything related to womanhood and motherhood: hemorrhoids, nipple hair, sex after marriage, mom bods, Spanx, wedding dresses, and swimsuits. (Yes, they even wore them on camera.) The videos have received nearly 300 million views worldwide in just five years…

Dokken exploded out of the heavy metal scene in Los Angeles in the early 1980s. Their debut album, which included “Breaking the Chains” as its catchy title track, set the stage for Dokken becoming the most dominant creative and commercial force in the world of melodic hard rock for the next several years. Albums like Tooth and Nail, Under Lock and Key, and Back for the Attack all became certified multi-platinum selling smashes. Songs like "Alone Again," "Just Got Lucky,""Burning like a Flame," and "Heaven Sent" are still regarded among the genre’s finest.
The band has survived and kept their loyal fans in a time when people's tastes change almost hourly, and they have been embraced by a whole new generation of rock fans. They recently played at the Bang Your Head Festival in Germany, as well as Rambling Man in England, where they received rave reviews.

Armstrong | The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon
Longway Planetarium Shows
The tiny, inquisitive mouse Armstrong is fascinated by space, especially the moon. On a clear night, he observes it with his little telescope and is keen to find out more about it. The other mice claim that it’s made of cheese, but Armstrong doesn’t believe it. How can he prove that the moon – like the earth – is made of rock? Eventually he sets about building a rocket in his attic to become the first mouse to fly to the moon. WATCH TRAILER.
