In another artistic realm...
Pina Bausch died today.I don't expect many of you to be familiar with her works unless you're in the theatre world. The NY Times article above gives a brief description of her works and the impact she made on the performance world in challenging the boundaries between dance and theatre. | | Thursday, June 25th, 2009 | | 6:10 pm |
The King of Pop is dead. Today, Michael Jackson died of a heart attack in LA. This means Madonna, the Queen of Pop, is now the sole ruling monarch. | | Saturday, June 20th, 2009 | | 11:05 am |

Come see my next show!! Notice the director's name..
The Land of Infants, opening Saturday June 6, 2009 Somewhere in Ireland, there’s some beer, some God, and a whole lot of dead….. Written by Megan O’Patry and directed by Nick Ishimaru, The Land of Infants opens June 6th and runs Thursdays through Saturdays until June 27th (with pay what you can previews June 4th and 5th) at Teatro de la Esperanza (2940 16 St., 2nd Floor of the Red Stone Building) in the Mission. The Land of Infants follows Mike and Sam, two grave diggers working for Miss Cassie, an evil-headed, thick-legged mob boss. An increase in their work load, an upset in mob management and some philosophical conversations over beer and blood shed have them reexamining life in their small, Irish town. But before they turn their shovels in for good, Mike must confront a dark secret from his past while Sam confronts a pestering mother from his present. And oh yeah, some people gotta die. The Land of Infants stars Paul Rodrigues, Dan Kurtz, Tony Cirimele, Jared Petersen and Sara Briendel. Tickets for The Land of Infants are $15, with two tickets for the price of one at the door every Thursday night. Thursday June 4 and Friday June 5 are pay what you can preview nights.

This is what actually worries me
"In addition, no authority supports the Attorney General’s claim that a constitutional amendment adopted through the constitutionally prescribed procedure is invalid simply because the amendment affects a prior judicial interpretation of a right that the Constitution denominates “inalienable.” The natural-law jurisprudence reflected in passages from the few early judicial opinions relied upon by the Attorney General has been discredited for many years, and, in any event, no decision suggests that when a constitution has been explicitly amended to modify a constitutional right (including a right identified in the Constitution as “inalienable”), the amendment may be found unconstitutional on the ground that it conflicts with some implicit or extraconstitutional limitation that is to be framed and enforced by the judiciary." So... About that fight over the meaning of words... | | Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 | | 11:00 pm |

SPINAL TAAAAAP!
And not the medical procedure! We got to see Spinal Tap live tonight. The set was a mix of Spinal Tap numbers and pieces from A Mighty Wind, which was awesome. The performance was fun, but the fan-service value far outweighed the quality of the music. Still, I got to hear "A Mighty Wind" sung live! Yay! | | Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 | | 3:56 pm |

Two states and another country down
This morning, Vermont made history (again) when it became the first state to recognize same-sex marriages via an act of the legislature, and not a court order. Five days ago, the Supreme Court of Iowa (really? Iowa??) unanimously ruled that same-sex couples must be recognized through marriage, under the state Constitution. The Parliament of Sweden finally made the final name change from civil unions to marriage as well. Read about Vermont in the NY Times.It's interesting to look at where the movements are happening. New York, New Jersey, and Washington are all on the boards now too. Hawai'i is making movements towards civil unions after the major set-back in 1992, and Colorado's legislature did pass by majority vote a domestic partnership act, which was later defeated because it was sent to popular vote. California passed marriage equalization legislation in 2005, only to have it vetoed by the Governor. Some of these are expected, but to see acts of recognition passing in state houses is pretty impressive. It's a slow but steady road. Either way, it's four states and six countries (soon to be eight once South Africa and Nepal [NEPAL people!] get it all hashed out) and counting. | | Monday, April 6th, 2009 | | 11:10 am |

Accepted!
Confirmed from the director of graduate studies at University of Hawai'i: I got in. I have to wait for a few weeks for the official letter from the Graduate Division, which hopefully will also include funding details, since Hawai'i is going to require a minor miracle to afford. Now, I have to decide. |
