8184. uzmakk - 4/15/2006 3:03:19 PM Was the discussion of 3 Penny Opera back thread inspired by the new production which is opening at Studio 54 in NYC next week? I just heard about it on NPR. It was a good interview, but I didn't learn anything that I hadn't already learned from Ms.No. I might go. 8185. Adam Selene - 4/15/2006 3:32:33 PM I'm a huge fan of Nellie McKay and I'm going this summer just to see/hear her in 3p opera. I saw her in concert at the Birchmere i January and she just blew me away. No tickets yet... still planning the date.
What was the gist of the NPR review? 8186. uzmakk - 4/16/2006 12:37:07 PM It hasn't yet opened so it wasn't a review, more of a discussion of what 3POpera is and what they intend this production to be. For instance, if some versions have been cleaned up to make them more palatable, they have pumped the original slime back into this one and added ingredients made available only through modern chemistry, in order to shock modern audiences, which was Brecht's original intention. 8187. uzmakk - 4/25/2006 3:06:14 PM Did 3POpera open yet? Has anyone read any reviews? 8188. Ms. No - 4/25/2006 11:03:29 PM Oooh! It sounds awesome. I wish I was going to be able to see that production. 8189. Adam Selene - 5/8/2006 3:08:02 AM Well - I just bought my tickets to 3p opera. $90 each, for 5th row balcony. (whew..add that to Amtrak and it's getting pricy!!)
You can find review summaries and links from the Nellie fan site. 8190. wabbit - 5/10/2006 5:24:26 PM YouTube has got some fun videos:
Evolution of Dance
It runs six minutes and is work safe, if you aren't eating or drinking anything. 8191. anomie - 5/10/2006 11:46:41 PM Very cool, Wabbit. There's another one with robot dancing that's hilarious. It's only a minute or so long. I'll try to dig it up. 8192. anomie - 5/11/2006 12:22:10 AM Fabchannel.com
Here's an interesting web site to check out for free concert videos and music. The sound seems pretty good but I'm on a cheap laptop.
The Amsterdam music website Fabchannel.com has received the Webby Award in the category music.
Webby Awards are for websites what Oscars are for movies. Fabchannel broadcasts pop concerts which were given in the Amsterdam theatres Paradiso and the Melkweg on the internet.
According to the manager of Fabchannel, Mr Justin Kniest, it is the biggest concert archive on the internet.
8193. anomie - 5/11/2006 12:24:14 AM Last three paragraphs above should be in quotes...from the A-dam news site. 8194. Ulgine Barrows - 5/13/2006 4:32:01 AM meh 8195. DanDillon - 5/15/2006 8:23:06 PM Yet another fine reason for this forum's name... from Wiktionary
mote (verb)
1. to embarass or patronize either with or without malice, especially in a case of situational irony; short for demote;
"And as Elizabeth tripped Frank — causing him to drop his soda — Andrew, who was looking on happily, shouted, 'Moted!'" 8196. wonkers2 - 5/15/2006 11:42:53 PM Welcome back, Mr. Dillon. Long time no see. 8197. wonkers2 - 5/15/2006 11:43:07 PM Stick around! 8198. arkymalarky - 5/16/2006 2:22:47 AM I second Wonk! How are the children doing? 8199. DanDillon - 5/17/2006 9:45:47 PM We're all well. Thanks for asking. How's life in your neck o' the woods? 8200. arkymalarky - 5/17/2006 11:01:25 PM Very good. School's out in two weeks and the kid's home cleaning my house (remuneration is generous--a tank of gas). 8201. alistairconnor - 5/18/2006 10:46:40 AM Moted! I like it...

That's how he knows of every sparrow's fall;
That's why we prayed each time the tightropes cracked
On which our loveliest clowns contrived their act.
The G. I. Faustus who was
everywhere
Strolled home again. "What was it like outside?"
Asked Can't, with his good neighbors Ought and But
and pale Perhaps and grave-eyed Better Not;
For 'Kilroy' means: the world is very wide.
He was there, he was there, he was there!
And in the suburbs Can't sat down and cried."
Final stanza of Peter Viereck's "Kilroy Was Here"
