From an amazing 3-week trip to Europe. I went to London (as well as a day in Windsor, Stonehenge, and Bath), Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Odense (Denmark, friend lives there), Copenhagen, and Malmö (Sweden). I loved it! It was amazing! In London, I saw "Spamalot" and "Avenue Q", and now that I look back at it, "Spamalot" is not that anti-Semitic, because the song is not exactly mean-spirited, and "Finland" did not bother me, I do not believe that it is anti-Finnish anymore. And I will not let "Avenue Q" winning the Tony over "Wicked" stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. It was a great show. Still don't like it as much as "Wicked", but it is not just a "show about puppets". Also, in Odense, "Annie Get Your Gun" was playing, but I didn't have time to see it, but I did ask one of the girls from the show (they go throughout the street handing people brochures about the production) to sing a song in Danish and she sang "You Can't Get a Man with a Gun" in Danish, and it was a pretty good translation. If I was in Odense longer, I would have seen it. Anyway, just wanted you to know that I'm back, and I will be posting a lot more frequently.
P.S. in Malmö, I saw a poster for "Avenue Q" in Lund! How cool is that! They're doing a tour of Sweden! Then moving back to Stockholm!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to crack a joke about the maid at the hotel in Gdansk looking askance at your travel plans, but that line is funnier than anything I could ever come up with.

EDIT: I start next Friday, borstal.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Posted: 8/15/08 at 10:46amGood for you, skb. Learn lots and--as we used to say back in the West Coast olden days--party hard.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I wasn't even in Gdansk. I have never been to Poland, and I probably never will. There is a silent anti-Semitism there, and I am not going to places where I would not feel very safe.
It wasn't a 3-week theatre tour, I only saw 2 shows.

Question:
In a freaking MONTY PYTHON SHOW, how the hell did you think that the song would be mean spirited in the first place? NOTHING in any Monty Python show is serious.

Posted: 8/15/08 at 12:00pmWait a minute, you went to London and saw TWO SHOWS THAT YOU COULD SEE HERE!?! WTF?
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
