So we've got two clips posted on youtube from the Joe's Pub performance. Anyone else find/have any others? I'd really love to see the country Berlin and lounge Identity again.
I'll be rushing sunday. i am so desperate. sunday was the only day I could possibly see the show... and it just so happened that now it's closing on sunday! ah!

its a perfect circle: the same small stage that Heidi and I called home before PS ends up being the same small stage that the entire cast/band of PS feels equally at home: joe papp’s pub. even the name makes sense: it’s a theater guy’s rock club. this never occurred to me until now but of course PS would get its start at a theater guy’s club. where else? and while the stage never felt smaller with 80 of us up there last sunday it made perfect sense: the spirit of this play comes from the intimate club experience. the broadway stage is more BIG ROCK SHOW because its more people and louder but the old thrust theaters back at berk rep and the public were actually more club-like in their intimacy. That said, Everybody said the show would “lose something” when it transferred to the proscenium. But i think it actually gained something. It wasn’t wrong, just different. Big Rock is fun too. But nothing beats the club. If only because you never have to remind people That we’re all in this room together. /s This entry was posted on Tuesday, July 15th, 2008 at 3:47 AM and filed under 2.0.

I got rush tickets for the Matinee 2day I'm so excited. The lady said they had no rush for the evening since it was sold out but the guy at the B.O said they had regular $111 tickets still for sale. So I wonder why they aren't doing rush? I'm really happy I got tickets. My Friend and I are in Row A seat 109-110. Are they good seats?
Also Tiny will u be there at the Mat 2day?

Hey, I don't think she has a boyfriend right now? LOL! She's so genuine....I think she can't believe fans are THAT interested in her. The Bway thing seems to sweetly overwhelm her. Like you said: ****ing awesome! The rock goddess good girl version of my idol, Grace Slick.
Saw the show for the second time last night- one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. It was far and away much better than the first time I saw it- and what energy. I had forgotten just how good the book was- not only funny but intellectually challenging and extremely clever.
It really made me sad (and a bit angry) that such a wonderful show is closing.
