One AM and Surf's Up (review of Déjà Donné)
Worthy Opponent decided to see Arab Strap tonight, leaving me home to read It Happened on Broadway (I actually found reading about the original production of Oklahoma kind of tearjerking) and surf like I'm not already online for a minimum of forty hours a week. There's a great story about dating in the internet age I'm going to have to wait until I get to work to finish. I also got really caught up in reading about Neil Gaiman, god knows why (although I'd guess that having his blog on my friends list is at the heart of the problem), which led to reading about his work on first amendment cases that have put cartoonists and cartoon store owners IN AMERICA in jail. How depressing.
At any rate: tonight we decided to go see Déjà Donné at On the Boards (after almost bagging in favor of going to a movie). After last night's lame fest, it was great to see a show that was just "good." ( Collapse ) Afterwards we chatted with Brett Fetzer again, and I'm remembering now that he thought that adapting my favorite album of my childhood, The Point, into a stage play would be a good thing. I'd like to actually write about something substantial and not just do review stuff which I enjoy as a creative outlet but doubt will stand the test of time - like a play or a book would.
Wow, look, that took so long to write that he's made it home ...
