Film recommendation for everyone: go see word play. It’s a genuinely enjoyable film. After you get back, you can follow up with a nice read.

Saw the Drowsy Chaperone on Broadway this weekend. We were a little hesitant about what to go see, but thanks to Ryan’s recommendation, we landed on this show. The guys at TKTS said it got mixed reviews, though we can’t see how. The show was a riot, laugh-out-loud funny and witty.

On Sunday we went to the David Smith exhibition at the Guggenheim. The Guggenheim does a lot of things well in my opinion; nearly the whole of the collection is constantly rotating, and the museum is small enough so that you can physically see everything in a couple of hours. Bag check and the audio tour are also included as part of the admission price. Despite my previous experience of developing an audio tour system in Melbourne, this was actually the first time that I actually got to use the Antenna Audio audio tour devices that we read so much about. They were rugged, simple to use, and the production value was quite good. w00t.

Packed Ellis Paul concert at the Somerville Theater this evening. Ellis had a small band with him, and even Flynn came on stage for a few songs. Though perhaps the most memorable pieces of the evening were the songs by Antje Duvekot. I first heard her opening for Ellis at his valentine’s day concert at WPI. But this time some downloading must be done.

Went to go see the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater last night at the Wang. What a show! The first two pieces they performed, Shining Star, and Caught were particularly strong. I’ve never really appreciated modern dance until that performance.

The theater visits Boston every spring, and is here though the weekend. Highly recommended! Many thanks to Amola for getting me to go and for the ticket!

Going to Ellis Paul tonight. woooo.
