We also have a totally awesome surprise for you guys today. I can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet, but it’s gonna be totally saweeeeeeet. Be warned, though. You might pee your pants a little.
Funny, He Doesn’t Look Druish
Danciti pointed us to Apollinaire Scherr’s Aj blog, where she goes borderline racist. Which isn’t fair, cuz then you have to be like..well, is SHE Jewish? Cuz if she is, that’s cool, right? But if she’s not, she should jump into rehab with Richard what’s-his-fuck from Seinfeld–stat! I tried to post a comment on her [...]
The Second Coming…Out
Due to requests by loyal fans, total strangers, and a few blogger nerds, Counter Critic is coming out of the closet. Our future posts will (sometimes) include bylines and (not always) give credit to the writer. But y’all’ll have a better sense of the men and women behind the mask and masken. But will you [...]
New Facilities, New Horizons
On a personal note: Our dear old undergrad (Chapman University out in So Cal) is all growed up. Tim Mangan, at the OC Register, wrote this article last week about the upgrading of Chapman’s “School” of Music to “Conservatory”.

Alastair Macaulay gets off on throat singing Jennifer Dunning comes up with some crazy oil and water metaphor; is this a chemistry lesson or a dance review? And Pilobolus just won’t fucking go away!!!
So L.A. Thinks It Can Dance
Benn Widdey reporting on the Los Angeles dance scene. The three weeks of the annual New Original Works Festival opened at Redcat this past weekend with a trio of performance and dance pieces created by Los Angeles (or nearby)-based artists. The Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, one of the more prestigious venues in southern California, [...]
Chamber who?
Looks like LCF is taking more risks. George Benjamin’s “Into the Little Hill,” a 40 minute chamber opera for two singers based on the tale of the Pied Piper, sounds pretty hot. But you know with Lincoln Center, what sounds like a good idea can turn terribly wrong faster than you can say Midsummer Night [...]

It’s seriously a virtual civil war raging over at the TNT messageboards! If you ever wanna get a glimpse into essential conflict ripping our country into two halves–the average, channel surfing, hifalutin,’ Focus On The Family joinin’, GWB voting, Americans, and the rest of us–check out the forum for the new series, Saving Grace, which [...]
