When I was in college, my theatre group put on a couple of plays by a student named Nate Kushner, and they were all hilarious.  The real highlight was "Sic Semper OR Other Than That, How Did You Enjoy The Show, Mrs. Lincoln?", which posited that Booth had to kill Lincoln because Lincoln was about to serve as the…

In a Rocky vein, a couple of years ago, they showed the film on the steps of the Art Museum in Philly.  And despite the films age and the fact that everyone had already seen it, the crowd really got into it, and combined with the location, it was amazing.
And in terms of movies being ephemeral, I could offer up seeing…

I couldn't agree more.  The energy of a sweaty crowd in a basement singing at the tops of their lungs to a punk band is an energy that can't be matched.  I hear friends rave about arena shows, and I just think, "Really?".

Seriously, the Centre Pompidou is great, and it's even better that it's almost completely re-hung every year.  Nothing will top the first time I went, which my family and I still marvel about the exhibit "39 Dead Sparrows in Sweaters".  Which is exactly what it sounds like.

I've never even heard of Coldblood, which reassures me that my nerd-ery knows some bounds.  But not many boundaries:  Let's throw Forbush Man in there!

Unless I missed an update, the reports from the Philly papers said 30 bands over 3 stages.  But still, not that interested.  I will however, go see the Boss that weekend for the first time.

In the animated episode, there was the guy with the X on his t-shirt that was trapped in the zeppelin.  When Olivia woke up, she made some comment about how that guy would kill her.
And yes, the one hanging plot thread I do always remember (aside from that) is Broyles and Nina kissing.  What was up with that?

Looking ahead on my DVR, it looks like NBC is showing all 3 of the remaining episodes of Community next week.  What the hell?
