PASSING STRANGE

[ellenkushner]

We took Titi & Tempest tonight to see Passing Strange on Broadway. It's even better than everyone says it is. You must go. We loved it so much we waited outside the stage door afterwards to thank Stew for doing it. He invited us to go across the street for drinks with him. Talked about life, art, and Octavia Butler until they closed the place.

Sometimes I can't believe my life.

Stew is the nazz. Gotta love The Naked Dutch Paper.

Oops. Doing too many things at once. Make that The Naked Dutch Painter.

Oy, spelling.

Your angst is so much greater than ours.

Oops, sorry - that was a quote from the show; I thought the Naked Dutch Painter was, too, but I see now it's one of his albums. Must get it. And YOU must see the show. Yes??

That is awesome. Stew is an old friend of mine (from when he lived in LA), and I want so much to see this show!

Well, hi there! Just went and visited your page - we sure have a lot of Interests (and Friends) in common! You really really should see this show. Let me know if you're coming to town; maybe we can meet up.

Thanks--that would be great! I'll be at Wiscon, by the way...

Oh, splendid! Please (re)introduce yourself there (I have a lousy memory, and no face recognition to speak of - but I love the Brigadoon of Wiscon....).... Maybe we can grab a coffee or somethihg.

[gwynnega]

Will do!

Howbout this year?

[gwynnega]

Yep, I'll be there again this year. Let's have a coffee!

[ellen-kushner.livejournal.com]

Yes, let's! Be in touch in May?

I just heard about the Spike Lee movie of "Passing Strange" and I'm so delighted everyone will get to see it, now!

[gwynnega]

Sounds good!

I'm very excited about the Spike Lee movie. I've been listening to the "Passing Strange" CD all winter...

Good, rich, interesting, cool life - fabulous! I'm glad you enjoy it and recognize it for the wonderful thing it is-- :D

I heard Stew interviewed on NPR when the show first opened, and thought it sounded really interesting.

Maybe I'll get down there in time to catch it.
