I'm doing a reading this Friday...

I’ll show him arriving at Stuyvesant, read section of Angela’s Ashes he would read to us in class, and a section from ‘tis that I appear in”. Mr. Newman will also ( Read more... ) -
Good deal on a good show
Monday is the traditional (well... we've done it once before) open dress rehearsal for The Wrathskellar. It's the night we invite the press and we follow the show with a Q &A with the cast, which was a lot of fun when we did it at Unlucky in Love.

Ugh.
I hate this.
The bostonbabydolls have been fighting an on-going legal battle to open a dance studio in Quincy. I posted over there about it. It's been very expensive, with Quincy's strategy mostly being "If we drag this out long enough, they'll run out of money and go away". And we're almost at that point.
