Wise Madness
Yesterday I saw Hadestown and that’s all I’m going to write about. I’ll eschew my usual rundown of my actions and thoughts. Hadestown deserves my full attention. This is my third time seeing it on Broadway; I saw it once off-Broadway and many times as a concert piece with various casts. I’ve heard Anaïs Mitchell […]
Yesterday I went on an expedition for coffee. I feel guilty about doing so but I am careful while I’m out. There was a screen between Marie and me. I made the expedition because I’m now addicted to Marie’s Coffee Roasters. I never asked if she was actually Marie but every time I’ve been there […]
I’m trying something different, writing this directly on WordPress using their text editor We’ll see how this comes out. I want to write more about Hamilton. It’s one of the landmark musicals, one that represents something truly new. It’s remarkable how it accomplished that while staying true to many recent musicals, by using traditional forms. The […]
The rain let up enough yesterday for me to venture out to Bagel Bob’s for 55¢ bagels. That price is only on Mondays from 4 – 7. So yes, I travel from the Bronx to Greenwich Village for half-priced bagels. I follow that with a stop at the Trader Joe’s in the neighborhood. I’m not […]
Last night I did something important enough that I was willing to miss Anaïs Mitchell win Tony Awards, Bobtown at Rockwood Music Hall. It was the release show for their new album, Chasing the Sun. I can’t believe that it’s been five years since they put out their last one. Somebody has been playing with […]
I woke up before seven this morning and did not go back to bed. I never do that. It might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep watching TV around ten last night. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at midnight to remind me to go to […]
Last night I saw Hadestown for the second time. The show just opened. I bought the ticket in a pre-sale for people who had followed Hadestown on Facebook, or maybe Anaïs Mitchell’s Website. That is the only way I could afford to see this. I bought them the day they went on sale and were […]
Yesterday, star fell from heaven into my pocket; Chris offered me his ticket for Hadestown. I have a ticket for April 23 and it’s now in previews, but no way I wasn’t going to jump at the chance. I have been waiting for Hadestown to reach Broadway the way others wait for the messiah. I […]
The WFUV member drive is over and once again I’m writing from home. This a lot easier. I miss the macros I have on Word. I just used one to create the link to WFUV. It was a strange day at the station. Until 4PM none of the volunteers showed up. It was just me […]
This is the easiest kind of Wise Madness entry to write; last night I went to see Anaïs Mitchell at Rockwood Music Hall. If I can’t write about a friend, I just put on my list of great songwriters, performing at my home away from home, with friends in the audience, I should quit blogging. […]
