Re: “Remembering Don Evans, artist, professor and creative catalyst, for whom the big bang was not a theory”
So long Don. Your creative energy and encouragement were inspirational to me.

It was so great being one of those kids in Dayton.

Re: “Steeplechase: Come for the Hat Contest, Stay for the Fistfight”
^ It's nice to see an official acknowledgement by management. Kristen Mcarther Miles (the girl in pink) of Nashville may have finally gotten the memo it is not acceptable to hit strangers...

Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
How ironic that "Vandy radio" gets resurrected as a fictional station?! I was just glad they didn't call it WRVU. That would've been too painful.
Love these re-caps! I read the AV Club and Rolling Stone ones too and this is my fave (sorry Adam)

Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we need to get Sylvia Jefferies into a gritty indie drama set in the 1970s, in the South, with John Hawkes as her troubled love interest. There can be a nine-year-old who is weird and dark, and obviously some kind of murder.
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
Was everyone listening "Vandy Radio" on an HD radio?
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
Please open all the hyperlinks, they are hilarious, especially "emo Spiderman" and "Deal With It."

Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to enjoy a day at the races in an appropriate manner. Fortunately, thanks to a strong, coordinated effort between Iroquois Steeplechase management and Metro Police, incidents like this are far from the norm and are continuing to decline. As you can see at the end of this video, Police arrived and put a halt to this incident. Because of a stepped up partnership between the Steeplechase and Nashville's public safety officers, very few incidents like this occurred. Of course, we will not be satisfied until they never occur, and Steeplechase management will continue to devote the resources necessary to move us toward this goal. - Iroquois Steeplechase

Re: “A musical about budding sexual curiosity makes for darkly compelling entertainment at Street Theatre”
just a quick word about the R rating: the rating is more to let people know that there is some serious adult content in the show, but it isn't as strictly enforced as it would be in a movie theatre. like martin mentioned, the show is about kids after all...and my 17 year old loved it. if you have a 16 year old or even a mature 15 year old who is familiar with some of the conventions of theater, then i'd say bring them. the nudity is brief, tasteful, and can be easily ignored.
Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
Who in their right mind would try to please everyone. It is accomplished in all of the arts by gently massaging the Emotions, the emotions of the performers touching the viewer, or reader and turning them into participants. Apathy is failure. Emotional response is success!

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
It is especially important in this discussion to recognize the unity of the total process from that first unimaginable moment of cosmic emergence through all its subsequent forms of expression until the present. This unbreakable bond of relatedness that makes of the whole a universe becomes increasingly apparent to scientific observation, although this bond ultimately escapes scientific formulation or understanding. In virtue of this relatedness, everything is intimately present to everything else in the universe.
Nothing is completely itself without everything else. This relatedness is both spatial and temporal. However distant in space or time, the bond of unity is functionally there. The universe is a communion and a community.
We ourselves are that communion become conscious of itself.

Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
I just...this recap...why did I not know these were here until now?! 4 times on Judge Judy?! The tuff Nana jacket?! And, the line that had me scream-laughing, Scarlett as a 7 year old Japanese girl inside a white girl's body? Too much awesome. Well done.
