Diversions

  • Tryst

    This Off-Broadway tale of two people is rather interesting in that the two people involved, a con man named George Love (played by Maxwell Caulfield from Grease 2) and his latest love interest Adelaide, alternate the telling. At one moment they narrate from outside the story, as if…

  • Murdered by the Mob

    In the same vein as Tony n' Tina's Wedding, this show aims to make you part of the experience. We found that as part of the wedding party, you were made to feel a little more at home. While in both cases the cast members didn't really step…

  • New Owner for Carowinds

    It looks like Cedar Fair has offered to purchase the amusement parks from CBS, and that includes Carowinds. No word on whether the current licensing deals (including the Borg and Top Gun) will be extended, or if new ones will take their place. I just hope it means…

  • The Hanso Foundation

    It appears that ABC has really upped the ante for this off-season with their new advertising blitz for Lost. Dubbed The Lost Experience, to capitalize on the fact that users who choose to participate will really feel immersed in the whole thing, as if they are actually experiencing…

  • Cook Out Restaurant

    The Cook Out is an interesting beast because no one can seem to figure out where they're based. I've heard reports that they are out of Greensboro (NC), but they don't seem to have a web site at this writing, and it just doesn't seem to be anything…

  • Tony n' Tina's Wedding

    Since we didn't make it out to any shows the night before, we decided to try and find something to do on our last night before heading home, and since we didn't want to stay out too late, we found the 5pm showing of Tony n' Tina's Wedding…

  • The Exploding Baking Dish

    Last night, as I was preparing dinner, I – very intelligently, as you will find out shortly – sat the baking dish to hold the casserole on the range. I likely wouldn't have done this previously, since we didn't have a flat range, and the range that we…

  • It's Tourney Time!

    The second annual Don't Back Down NCAA Tournament is open for business. That's right, Patrick's reign as last year's champ has come to an end and it's time for someone new to ascend to the throne (I so hope it is me this time around). Anyway, head on…

  • Do you see a circle?

    Scientists have allegedly found a crater in Egypt. A really big one. 19 miles big, if their figures are correct. I've seen the picture. What I don't see is the crater. The article talks about the untrained eye, and I'm rather certain that it would be difficult to…

  • A Matter of Interpretation

    Yesterday I worked the Wuzzles in the local paper for the first time in a good bit. This was incidentally the first time I had received a paper copy in a while, actually….
