@unfortunately all this shit is fucking overpriced.
and get your facts straight: duncan sheik is NOT spring awakening. he botched it let’s face it.
@Um... David Byrne?
DAVID BYRNE! DAVID BYRNE! DAVID BYRNE!
There. That should do it.
@umm why pay to see zadie smith when she’s teaching @ the school of the arts this year?
@Anonymous You think Anthony Lane is funny? I’m depressed – and not sad that this is the first year in a while I’ll be out of town for the Festival. What a boring lineup.
@Paul )) (( hahaha I love it
And I agree Anthony Lane is unfunny, GH. Pooping back and forth is worth a thousand of the lame, withering puns in AL’s movie reviews.
@out of it what movie?
@yuck ))((
i cringe everytime i see that. it’s so gross. i hate that movie.
@Casper Also, Alex Ross on 10/7 should be good. But if you’re cheap like me, you can save the $25 & come to his appearance as a guest on Blue Notebooks Interviews, 10/29, 501 Schermerhorn. Free!!!
@But! BWOG! You failed to mention:
“The New Yorker Debate
Resolved: The Ivy League Should Be Abolished”

@)) (( Cheers for the reference.
@How about Sigur Ros? They’re a must see for this year’s festival.
