Chicago: home of the President of the United fucking States

:(

Tbere's another screening of it in December, and the Met will (or may already be) streaming the opera on its site.

is this the new production of it i was reading about in the NYer that's more minimal (ie less crazy set design)? they didn't give it a particularly positive review in comparison to the original production

The first production was directed by Peter Sellars, who is pretty much one of the best directors on Earth. (That version is available on DVD, and is the one that the Lyric produced last spring). The current one is more of a concert staging, with some multimedia bells and whistles as well.

netflix doesn't have the dvd :/

eazy, are you talking about this documentary on it? or is the whole play available on dvd too?

This one here (includes a 90-second clip). I didn't know about that doc -- I wanna see that.

Me giving BHO the clap

oh chicago

hey dudes

role models was not amazing but good, had some laughs. then we came home and watched stella for more 'the state' veteran action and that show is hilarious. ran into courtney and tim at the davis. they were going to see w.

can't decide what i feel like doing now, maybe reading or playing video games or something

i wish i had video games. i am trying to DL hellboy II but it is taking forever, and i wish i still lived with that asian fellow because he would have had that shit on his computer like what

I love this picture. A friend took it somewhere in Andalucia.

Although I guess it's not so great since these are only a handful of hundreds of hungry strays.

I saw this Eric Bogosian play Red Angel tonight and would highly recommend it (it runs tomorrow and Sunday). Main guy reminded me of jaymc. Very good two-people-in-a-room show.

Finally saw "Happy-Go-Lucky" earlier today and it was pretty amazing, best mike leigh for me since at least topsy turvy. Kind of was really life affirming.

I should see more movies at the davis, but they never seem to have much good playing there. Thing it's where I saw "the dark knight" though.

Good to hear about HGL -- will try to catch that next week, maybe.

I ate so much Korean bbq tonight.

Where did you go?

To a Korean bbq place up north on Western.

but if you get there before 6, tickets are $5.50 so it's ok to go see something mediocre

The last time I was at the Davis, a few years ago, I was seeing one of those movies where the opening credits are flushed alternately to the left margin and the right margin, and the whole thing was cut off. AD PITT...DON CHEAD...EAN'S 12...

i want to make a clever joke about what you were watching being something else but im not clever enough

guess I should go to davis to see random movies during the day...though sometimes I think I'd rather travel and pay a little more to see what I really want to see (assuming there is something I really want to see somewhere). Actually think I want to go see Lola Montes at the music box next week. Apparently it is the best movie ever or something.

Can I use you guys for a reference for this?

hey we got a new tv and it's huge and beautiful and awesome!!!

experience in web posting

What can they mean by this? I'm kinda stumped.

Nick, show me the TV. How big? HD?

Ooo new TV. I know just the movie you should watch on it!

What movie is that?

Sleepaway Camp

That man is saying, "John!"

karaoke was fun
some bitch asked us a dumb question "because [we're] older"
her name is NINA and she can fuck right off
also i sang "since you've been gone" by rainbow - i don't recall anyone ever singing that song at the HC. i didn't even know it was there. and yes i did hit the key change.

and yes the sisters were there.

it looks like this, if we were to play madden on our tv:

that's a nice tv

Sarah, you would be proud of me. I went on a cleaning binge yesterday and got rid of my horrible, embarrassing Pile of Teacher Junk in the corner of our office room.

i'm guessing no one wants our old tv? it's a good size (19-inch) and works great but it's old school so if anyone wants to use it past february they would need one of those digital signal converter box thingies. we also have a dvd player to give away if anyone needs it (we had to buy a new dvd player because our old one wouldn't work with our new tv apparently)

can i accept it as a donation for my school?

(i mean if no one else wants it)

sure! do you want the tv and the dvd player?

some bitch asked us a dumb question "because [we're] older"

haha, what was the question?

which version of "gloria" was the one by laura branigan

i mean, i can think of three different songs with the name "gloria" but i don't think she knew that because she is but a cub of...wait for it...25.

ps i also knew this information and could have answered her question when i was 25 but that's just because i am awesome
