Yesterday I did something that I’ve never done before: I snuck into a movie.
I’d just paid for and watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was excellent by the way book fans, and then slipped into The Artist, which was as amazing as everyone says. Seeing as I’d paid $13.50 for a film that would have cost half as much in the ‘burbs to go see (or that would’ve been if I were SAG), I felt obliged to get my money’s worth.
My question is this: How common is sneaking into other films? Do you do it? And if you do, how often?

This photo really resonated with me. (I wish I could take credit for taking it). It accurately depicts the all too familiar post-show phenomenon comedians experience, the Superman-to-Clark Kent transformation that happens on the commute home. #realtalk

Quote reblogged from Hannah's Theatre CollageWhat’s different about Radiolab (and what I think is changing about the web) is that it *is* a production, just one of a very new kind. Radiolab is actually post-blog and post-livestream. It’s not aping the oratory of old or the raggedness of the new. It’s a hybrid that takes lessons from the past, recent and deep. That’s where I think web journalism is headed, too. “No one wants to read a 9,000-word treatise online,” reads a telling line from Sullivan piece. “On the Web, one-sentence links are as legitimate as thousand-word diatribes—in fact, they are often valued more.

…and hello to a bed-bed.
While my bed does not resemble this hamburger bed, it will be equally as delicious. Mazel tov to me!

Edmond Hawkins made this sweet poster for Night of the Living with Kurt Braunohler featuring David Cross and AC Newman - this Friday, 12/16, at 11pm.
