The headlines are solid: Pushing Forward And Getting Nowhere by Eric Grode, and Making an Impact, but on Whom? by Kate Taylor. And yes, the Sun is an actual newspaper, even though nobody reads it. Amazing.

FringeNYC starts today
It’s been 10 years since the first New York International Fringe Festival. In a way, it seems like it’s always been here, and also that it started yesterday. A few stats from Jason Zinoman’s article in Time Out New York:
Zinoman’s article is worth a read, but here’s the last line to whet your appetite: How many shows about blow jobs, clowns and Tom Cruise can one city take? Indeed.

offoffonline Featured Review
From offoffonline:
The Featured Review, Three Sisters, assesses a contemporary playwright’s updated version of a classic Chekhov play. No longer in turn-of-the-century Russia, Olga, Masha, and Irina are now exiled to the outer boroughs of Manhattan and longing for their beloved Upper West Side duplex.
Okay, that’s just a little too contemporary for our taste. Do they also have pet cats? And was the duplex rent controlled? Did the landlord lock them out when they left the house unattended for the first time in 25 years? Do they browse open houses while waiting for their brunch reservations? Ah, Chekhov, we hardly knew ye.

If only the publicist had been there…
…maybe Axl wouldn’t have sunk his teeth into a security guard.
Axl Rose to pay guard he allegedly bit
“Catarina Oscarsson, a spokeswoman for concert organizer Ema Telstar, said the band wasn’t traveling with a publicist and would not comment on the arrest.”
Usually the publicist is to blame, so this time it’s nice to see them get credit. Sort of.

Nice review for The Mint
George Hunka calls SUSAN AND GOD “a rare gem”, which is a good quote, unlike this one.
