Why Nerds are Unpopular
A friend who is an admissions counselor sent me this article about Why Nerds are Unpopular. Apparently someone referenced it in his/her essay. Its interesting--nothing we didn't already know, but also not something we usually articulate.

Yesterday i got an angry email from a director; the listing for his show in the Reader bore little relation to the press release he had given us. I checked, we sent the reader the right release, they decided to adapt it (as our publicity manager said "I don't think I've ever used the word jingoistic in my life!"). We decided, however, that it didn't really matter since no one comes to our shows based on the Reader listings. That's just common sense: we're way on the south side doing student productions. northside yuppies aren't going to travel all the way down here.

Murphey's law: yesterday 2 people called saying they'd seen the listing and wanted tickets. I refrained from telling them that the listing directly contradicts what the director intends to present.

and maybe Turner was painting what he saw

ok, back to work.
