Spiderman on Broadway

It seems as though some people are braving the recession and still depositing ridiculous amounts of money into not-so-smart territories. Introducing...Spiderman the Musical: Turn off the Dark.

There are so many questions regarding this show. Does "turn off the dark" mean that the show is taking place in Alaska? If so, does that mean that Sarah Palin might consider playing Mary Jane?


Also, the budget is reported $40-50 million. WOW. What the hell. Is spidey going to ride a giant spider on stage for curtain call like David Hyde Pierce did with a horse in Curtains?

So even if this is a hit and all - how is it ever going to make money? It would need to run for a LONG LONG TIME to make back the investment. Like 10-20 years. It's also going to play the Hilton (no surprise there) which very few shows have made their money back (Pirate Queen, Hot Feet, Young Frankenstein, etc).

So I say good luck to the producers and everyone involved in bringing this monster to the big apple. Let's hope it doesn't get ripped apart and require a bailout.

Sketchy Sign

Here's a really sketchy sign that was on 6th Street in Austin ... Why not just come out and say the words "sex for rent" -- "Gasolina para dormotorio" ?

Hello Texas!

I'm heading off to Austin, Texas tomorrow for some fun times and warm weather. Don't miss me too much. Sometimes it's nice to just get away and relax - so that's exactly what I'm doing (:

Exit Out of Service

I came across this yesterday and thought it was funny...

Nightlife in Danbury, CT

I had to pause and do a "double-take" when I read the subject of this article. To my surprise, the words "nightlife" and "Danbury" were in the same sentence. Since moving to Danbury
over ten years ago, I have yet to find such a night-life. The most popular after-school hangout was the local Citgo gas station, and if you do decide to go to a club beware of inadequate parking, over-inflated entrance fees, and lack of spoken English.

Numbers

Since I'm taking a Statistics class, I figure that I should get more in tune with my numerical side and post some number-related info here. This section will be called...you guessed..."Numbers"

Banned Superbowl Commercial

This is a commercial by AshleyMadison.com that was banned in most states during the Superbowl. Ashley Madison is an online dating service for married people wishing to cheat on their other half. I suppose the idea of this site is morally wrong yet I accept it because it may be the only thing that brings some people happiness if they are being treated poorly in a relationship that is hard to get out of.

That brings us to the other morality question; who is to judge what types of commercials are to be played on the television? Well the answer is the stations, of course - but do you want the stations to judge content for you, or do you want to judge things for yourself?

As we seem to be peeling back the layers on the socialism onion, this is just one more thing that goes along with restrictions and limits imposed by Big Brother. Soon we won't be making any decisions for ourselves.
