Penn and Teller don't update their road essays very frequently... but when they do, they're always worth reading. Two recent entries by Teller (first, second) detail the story behind an intimate two-day concert of Bartok quartets performed by the Colorado Quartet, an affair Teller originally organized for himself and a few friends, but opened up some pricey tickets to the public to share the music and help fund the event. I received a notice about the concert a few days before it happened; I wish I could have gone.

Penn recently published his annual year end list not a best-of list, exactly, but a breakdown of the show business-type stuff he saw and experienced throughout the year. He includes on his list the fact that he saw a video of Team America, "unfinished with Trey singing and acting it out". Penn & Teller once gave a nod to South Park on their own TV show, Bullshit!, but it's cool to know Penn is this much of a fan:

Maybe it's a little too circle-jerky for a libertarian (me) to celebrate the fact that another libertarian (Penn) is such a big fan of a couple other libertarians (Trey & Matt)... but I've been such a big fan of them all for so long, it's nice to see them digging each other.
