New York.


































  • Theatre du Soleil was so good I cried. Literally.

  • Cezanne/Pissaro at the MoMA: very good.

  • Orson's Shadow was pretty damn good too. Any play that has Laurence Olivier shouting Fuck me in the tits! when he cant get a line is good in my books.

  • 9 Songs was awful and pornoriffic.

  • New York was much less dressed up and much more friendly than expected.

  • Dear NY, Please teach Toronto how to make hamburgers. Love, Ginny

  • The wrist grab and Youre embarrassing me! c/o Tally Hall never got old.

  • Dropping Theo and Rudy off at the pool has a whole new meaning now.

  • Why does the NY Subway seem heated??!!??!!!?!?!!?!?!?!?

  • Dear Museum of Natural History. Please write a pamphlet or book on the curation of your museum.

I can occasionally tolerate a Sinatra picture or maybe a Dean Martin interlude, but musicals chafe my soul. The only one Ive ever been able to watch without a creeping sense of irony is South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut, which is, in and of itself, probably ironic. smile

I asked you what one thing you would most want to experience in NYC in a very hypothetical way, and, despite receiving an illuminating and appreciated response, I admit that was a mistake. Im going to NYC in a week, you see, so let me try again: As a solitary tramp with maybe $20US in his pocket and somewhat sophisticated but not altogether erudite tastes, what one thing (a specific theater production is the anticipated answer) would you recommend I experience while in NYC?
oryx:
this one is my favourite.

ps. if only onlyoblivion knew what you were doing this sunday.. heh.
