I've never found it to be easy being green, as evidenced by a long line of dead plants, stretching into my past. My horticultural pursuits have never ended in triumph but have generally ended with an unceremonial plant dumping, in...

What's with all the dust in this place?
Just in from a fairly wonderful night out with The Wise Mind. Now that the weather has thankfully warmed up, I've returned to riding Mimi around town. On the way home from work, I decided to stop at The Weave for fresh air and refreshments. Finished a Nantucket Nectar and a cookie and got about a third of the way through the most recent issue of American Theatre, before my phone rang, and a voice requested my presence at the other end of the lawn. Turned out to be The Wise Mind and a friend of hers. We sat and talked for hours, even chatted up The Hedgepig during his brief appearance.
We continue chatting until the sun went down, then I treated Wise Mind to dinner at Carrburritos. Always yummy.
Tonight, The IllinoizeMaker is in Raleigh at the Decemberists show. I am a little jealous, but then again, I am seeing The Arcade Fire next month and (so far as I know) he isn't, so it all evens out in the wash. And there's always TV on the Radio in TWO WEEKS (!!!) that we'll attend together. And Bloc Party in June, but he may not go with me. And Ben Gibbard next month.
So what was I jealous about in the first place?
Anyway, I need to start writing a paper, so bye!

As pretty much everyone in the world knows, Neon Bible drops tomorrow. I got my copy Saturday morning, thanks to having pre-ordered from Merge in January. How many times have I listened to the album? I'd say too many to...

I'm not one to give shout-outs (except when I'm pimping the shows I'm in), but I just had to put this up. The music blog, You Ain't No Picasso, today featured Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies, the band in...
Hot on the heels of my recent post about David Talbert, Mr. Talbert's name turns up again. This time, the writer-director is mentioned in an article on NYTimes.com, The World of Black Theater Becomes Ever Bigger, which argues that the...
Over the weekend I came across an article (Variety.com - Scribe drives urban sprawl) about David E. Talbert, writer-director on the so-called "African-American theatre circuit." The article goes on to later rightfully reference the chitlin circuit, placing Talbert's productions within...
