Boycott Dancing with the Stars! (see below) Starry nights mean cold mornings, and my scraper broke -- gotta get a new one. You have to see to drive.

In The Community: The Autumn Salon continues at the Hockaday Museum of Art, along with Donna Gans' very witty installation of Modern paintings.

Media Watch: Trash A Go Go (AKA Dancing with the Stars) continues to blame the audience for throwing their best dancer off the show, when it was the JUDGES slamming her with lower scores than she earned and deserved. Look in the mirror, suckahs!

Theatre/Theater: My friend Katie Duck has revised her website, with the very able assistance of Cyber-pal Justin Morrison, who has also been dancing with her this Fall. The NEW Katie Duck Website boasts a bright yellow background, with lots of videos scrolling down the main page, plenty of biographica, workshop info, and damn funny poetry.
Modern Dance has close paralells to Modern Jazz -- Katie is an improvisatory master on the level of Eric Dolphy, Don Cherry, Bud Powell, Dexter Gordon et al in the realm of Movement, plus she inspires great musicians like Andy Moor, Sean Bergin, Mike Vatcher, and Michael Moore (no relation to Andy) to even greater sonic heights when she shares the stage with them. UPDATE -- Katie has posted a new two-part Magpie Music/Dance performance that is beautiful to see and hear!
