Here's an essay by Eve Ensler that expresses a lot of the concerns my female friends have discussed with me about Sarah Palin's candidacy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eve-ensler/drill-drill-drill_b_124829.htmlI wish Ensler would write more theatre pieces. I really like her stuff. But, like Joe Biden, she got the Republican convention chant wrong. Its wasn't, "Drill, Drill, Drill." It was, "Drill, Baby, Drill." |

The office next door just gave us a bunch of bottles of wine they were getting rid of. It's an Australian Chardonnay from a vineyard called Xanadu. I thought that was cute. |

A guy was selling bootleg DVDs on the subway last night, loudly announcing all the titles he had. One of them was Spike Lee's Katrina movie "When The Levees Broke", only he was pronouncing it "When The Levys Broke" like they were some Jewish family. |

From Peter Haas at Cabaret Scenes: http://www.cabaretscenes.com/PrinterFriendly/Cross-MargaretPrinterFriendly.htm"This is a lovely way to spend an evening" is more than a song title: it's also an emphatic recommendation to visit for an hour with Margaret Cross as she performs her show, I've Got To Be There, at Rose's Turn, Sundays at 7 in September. A young lady with striking beauty, charm, a delightful sense of fun, and one of the absolutely loveliest voices in all of cabaret, Margaret is a find. Her program is a varied one, ranging from comic sure-fires (To Keep My Love Alive and Vodka) to novelty numbers (Superman) to romantic songs (I Concentrate on You, the haunting Summer Night in combination with The Girls of Summer, and the ever-exquisite If Love Were All), this latter group sung in transportingly beautiful style. Superb musical accompaniment and vocal assist, both with a fine, restrained touch, are provided by Jad Bernanrdo, with the show’s direction by Michael Dale. Margaret Cross is at Rose's Turn every Sunday in September. |
