You mean, they've been put in your spank bank?

You know, you and BHA should merge your banks... or maybe there can be an aquisition... you'd have that much more to choose from, then!

Ahem. My spank bank is not subject to the eplaya "gifting" regulations, is it? I certainly hope not. Well, not that anyone would want to handle them now, anyway.

Is Joel the only one drinking? Somebody make me something with a couple of raw oysters in it, I have a feeling that I am going to need it.

Where's Sandwich? I can't think of anything with raw oysters.. aside from straight raw sliders on the half...

We got a good review!

did you put the hurt on Sensei?

Lydia, does this mean he liked it?
The scenario of occupying invaders, local collaborators and religious martyrs in the Middle East leaps out of this unglamorous, stripped-down production. Without its usual Broadway glamour and escapist spectacle, "Jesus Christ Superstar" is a tragedy in the form of a rock opera.

Oh who the fuck really knows... My take on it is that it is a postive review - his only beef being that the program doesn't list who plays what. Well, that and the funk in the air (we'd all been rehearsing in costume for a week... it's no surprise that by opening night we were a little nasally challenging).

I think that in this case intense and startling are praise.

And it *is* gonna get people in the door.

Congrats to Lydia!

The reviewer commented about a stinky theater? Seems like a gratuitous complaint to this editor-in-chief. He’s fired! And his editor, too.

A couple of years ago a reviewer came to a show... and reviewed the fucking ceiling tiles in the lobby (it was appropos of absolute bupkiss too. He mocked our fucking lamps and shit saying "I know they are low budget but this is absolutely *low rent*. Can't they afford better decor?"). I shit you not. Fucker barely mentioned the piece of theater one would assume he was a drawing a paycheck to write about.

Our artistic director at the time wrote the paper and suggested that perhaps they no longer send that reviewer to our shows. It grieved us so to think we might be offending his sensibilities. No, no, please let him know that we wouldn't dream of allowing him to cross our threshold and be so disturbed again. Even if it meant not being reviewed by that paper.

All too often reviews are at least 50 percent about the writer jerkin' his gherkin in front of the readership, "oooh, look how smart and witty I am, I can even rip on the <i>ceiling tiles</i>." Around here we call that "getting between the story and the reader," and it's a no-no. Maybe I'll go check out the actual review before I bust the writer's chops any further. See you in a few.

Okay, I am back.

That seems to be a very positive review. You should be pleased. To get the word "sensational" in the third sentence is very, very good for you.

I would have axed the nose reference or at least moved it further down in the text. Not that this should hurt ticket sales too much. Some scent-o-perves will probably go just to inhale the action, so to speak.

...

Hi Rian my love. Yep. Keeping my eye out for that can't-miss journalist's confab or whatever within 200 miles of y'all.
