Dance super hero, Miguel Gutierrez, is bringing his brainchild, Death Electric Emo Protest (DEEP) Aerobics to P.S. 122 this Sunday as part of the Movement Research Festival. For five clams, you get to figure out what the hell this is supposed to mean:

FYI.
We changed our Blogroll, so that now, the blogs belonging to the papers are segregated from the solo blogs. Because there’s a difference…

L. Ro. is a poet. And you’ll know it when you read her review of the girl/boy double bill of Beth Gill and Daniel Linehan at DTW, so we’re giving her the Mini-CADDY
Dunning is just…dry in her review of Gina Gibney, so she gets a Mini-Douche
Roslyn Sulcas gets a Mini-CADDY for using the word “denuded” [...]

Our future lover, A. Ro., gets called up to the Top 10 books of ‘07 list in The New York Times. (Way to go, hon!)
Despite what might appear to be a tendentious effort on our part to discredit the poor guy, we’re actually totally stoked that so many people are making such a fuss about [...]

So it’s a day after our coup de review. I could only find two other reviews of The Met’s Iphigenie en Tauride this A.M. (Feel free to point us toward any we overlooked.)

Neh neh neh neh neh neh! Guess who got to attend the opening night of The Metropolitan Opera’s latest “new” production? That’s right, boys and girls! But you know we work for it over here. So we’re bringing you our FIRST WORD REVIEW, that is, a review that comes out when a review should come [...]

Yum yum! Gimme some of that Paganinian, tubercular guantness, a chaise lounge and tub of bon bons and call me satisfied!
