David Blaine's Street Magic

Planet Unicorn Heyyy

Oh don't worry. There are four more episodes. Watch them. And then make this theme song your ringtone.

I saw this last night

How much do I love The Rocket Summer? Enough to demand my small/growing list of readers stop everything they're doing and download everything this man has ever written/played. You won't regret it. Then, next time he's in town, you can pay almost $30 and sit through two crappy bands to see him, and feel completely justified having done so.

The Drowsy Chaperone-- on tour!

Okay, so I lovelovelove the music from this show. I've been dying to see it, and based on everyone's recommendations, I've got good reason to be dying to see it. My mom is dear friends with an actor named Cliff Bemis, most widely recognized for his long-running gig as Cliff the IHOP Man on old IHOP commercials. Cliff wrote Mom a little while ago to tell her he'd been cast as Mr. Feldzeig in the touring company of The Drowsy Chaperone a few months back, and they officially start performances in Toronto next Wednesday (an auspicious day, as it is my birthday:D ).


So yay. The show is coming to Salt Lake City sometime next summer, I think. This is exciting, particularly because the touring cast is so good (assuming they stick around that long): Robert Dorfmanvas Underling, Georgia Engel as Mrs. Tottendale, and Bob Martin reprising his role as Man In Chair for the Toronto performances.

After that, Bob Martin will be replaced by another Canadian actor, Jonathan Crombie, who replaced him on Broadway for a short while this past winter. And I'm FREAKING OUT like a little girl who's had one too many cupcakes. Why is this significant, you ask? Why should I be all up in arms about an obscure actor named Jonathan Crombie? See, this is Jonathan Crombie:


And how much do I love that Gilbert Blythe? There are few words, friends. Few words.
