I hate Mondays
I hate finals too. Oh well.

Had a nice weekend with Margo when I wasn't busy being too tired or too stressed.

in this article, the trib tries to diagnose some of the problems with Chicago theater, in the context of Urinetown. I think it is a little facile to say about Urinetown "The show was a brilliant combination of two native Chicago aesthetic styles with two vital New York additions: money and clout". But it also talks about Jimmy's, The U of C, and TMLMTBGB so I have to love it. Oh, it also vastly oversimplifies neo-futurism, but hey. Does anyone else think Greg Allen sounds a little on the defensive? And why does the Trib think he "still runs the company"? Do we think he didn't mention his new title?

The Lyric's Sweeney moves to London and brings with it musings on opera v. theater

Happy finals week, happy advent, etc.etc.
