Things That Matter


Carlyle Hotel piano bar -- Sunday, 12.6.09, 11:20 am.

What they really mean is, "Don't even think of taking out your laptop while you're eating here. This isn't the New York Public Library. Find a Starbucks, fella."

Curtain at the Ethel Barrymore theatre last night before the start of David Mamet's Race, a tautly written, at times hilarious, highly absorbing piece about what the enormous and perhaps even insurmountable gap that lies between the races. The excellent James Spader, David Alan Grier, Kerry Washington and Richard Thomas costar. On the level of Speed The Plow but not Glengarry Glen Ross -- no offense.

The 1st photo makes me wanna eat a cheesecake.

David Mamet is certainly an interesting playwright with an unique style, but I'm not really into his stuff. I prefer playwrights (living, I mean) such as Sean McDonough, Suzan-Lori Parks, etc...

Opening Night for World Premiere Mamet (both writing and directing). What jealousy! Would it be too much to ask for a couple graphs?

I remember riding past Hot & Crusty on my way to a tv taping of The State back in the early 90's. Still tops the list of most unappetizing names for eating establishments ever.

Looking forward to seeing that play, but what's with the title? A play about race called "Race?" "Speed the Plow," "Glengarry Glen Ross:" now those are titles.
