okay!

about that ERS show: it was good! being a huge faulkner fan (especially those compsons), i was maybe more engaged than some. it was long. but unlike the kerouac show, i didn't mind. and like the kerouac show, there was some lovely dancing. susie sokol always (okay, both times) reads like a tiny, bony, bill irwin; a clown in the best sense of the word. she wuz great.

periodic absence.

that's just how this blog rolls. didn't mean to cry "auslander!" and then leave you hanging. more soon--i'm off to see elevator repair service tonight. will report!

ten free shows! um, philip auslander!

joe's pub is having an anniversary party: ten free shows. register here by october 5 for the goodies.

[i have been thinking a lot about the auslander thing. apart from a single flurry of emails, most of which were little more than advertisements for aggrieved correctness on the parts of academics, i haven't heard anything about it in weeks. i guess we'll see what happens when the TDR issue comes out. if you haven't heard, try here (a draft of schechner's remarks on the controversy) and here (chronicle of higher ed site may require login).]
