... And New York continues to fail to correctly identify Minnesota.
Twin CITIES. Two. Plural. Minneapolis, St. Paul.
Christ.
That's not really all that surprising; to most New Yorkers, anything west of about Pittsburgh is simply some amorphous concept of "out west." They truly can be mind-numbingly provincial sometimes.
What truly frightens me is the notion that in 20 years or so, that old guy sitting alone in the empty house could be me.
'Cause I'm not going to stop going to the theatre, no matter what.
I'm hooked, what can I say?
i didn't really read that post but could you just please stop comparing seattle to nyc??? just cause they mentioned something about Seattle (and the AMAZING Stranger) is no different than them mentioning Pookeepsie WTF or however you spell it... pussytown, poontangtown, whatever....
by making such a fuss, you're revealing your insecurity. you're not even the *second* city and new new york sounds really dumb.
Mmmm, Pussytown. . . .
oh poor seattle. we would never act like big mean old new york. we thought we were friends. c'mon new york, we are the new york of the west. we've been trying. remember we had that grunge thing? see, we're cool. we gave brooklyn all of our hipsters for you.
Yeah, umm, PLEASE don't compare Seattle to New York when it comes to theatre. Broadway is generally a basket full of suck these days -- mostly because it doesn't trust theatre to be theatre.
Let Seattle create theatre that strives to be theatre, not TV or film. Theatre that is actually GOOD. Cultivate audiences that come to the theatre not to check out, but to be engaged -- to actually think.
Sorry for the rant, just feeling very let down by New York theatre right now...
Mike Daisey is boring.
