Guns Drawn on Filmmaker Lynn Shelton.
Had a dream about Lynn Shelton last night, actually. She and I were seated near each other at a Frank Sinatra dinner theatre show and got to talking. The next day we ran into each other at the hospital seeking treatment for some injury of mine (Bill Murray was there too). She gave me a hug. I thought that was nice of her, as she didn't really know me. Then I woke up. Strange...

Catch Me If You CAN'T!!!.
I'd interpreted the opening night standing ovation to have more to do with the fact that Mr. Butz' sister was slain in southpark than with the overall production.
It was definitely overlong and needs some work, but I do think it's got a shot at being the family-friendly colorful spectacle most audiences seem to be seeking in a "Broadway Show."

Another Detail about Stabbing Victims.
Condolences to everybody. I hadn't realized Norbert Leo Butz was involved in "Catch me if you can." Now I'm actually interested in seeing it. (He was amazing in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and pretty decent in Wicked, too)

Today in Regional Theaters Gripping onto Life by Their Fingernails.
This is genius. I hope that this will work out. In recent years, ACT has produced several of the plays worth seeing more than once, even (The Pillowman, The Goat, etc). For years ACT has been the least compromising in their ticket prices (All the big guys offer $10/under 25 yr old tickets, but that's always seemed to be where ACT draws the line). Seattle Rep offers $20 tickets subscription packages for those 28 yr old and under. Intiman generally runs a special offering 5 plays for $100 or 3 plays for $80. This is the first year ACT has come close to matching these prices, but their 3 plays for $80 deal was only valid on Sunday or Thursday matinees.

Stoop Reading.
www.bookcrossing.com is a way to leave books around for strangers, but track their journal entries online. *smile* The Seattle scene is pretty active. You can even get email alerts of wild release books, so you can go hunting for some.

It's Not Just the Economy.
Target also doesn't require their pharmacists to fill legal birth control or emergency contraception prescriptions. (Not such an issue in WA state anymore, but still a problem in many parts of the country). I do miss shopping there, but three years Target free and my life has continued pretty much the same as always.
