A festival.) you should have already bought tickets to every event that you possibly can. Read on for details, so you know what you’ll be seeing (now that you, y’know, have already bought your tickets).

Oscar observations
Two quick thoughts:
– Ellen Degeneres should’ve said “This is ironic that I’m the host, because my drag name is Oscar Brunch.”
– When they started playing music to get her off the stage, Jennifer Hudson should have said “I AM TELLING YOU I’M NOT GOING!”

Like, Whoah, in Brooklyn
A quick update on Point Break Live!: it’s in Brooklyn. This somehow seems appropriate.

Justin Bond shows you he can talk
If you like Kiki and Herb, you probably like them separately. Or so one might think. Justin Bond, one half of the dyspeptic duo, is doing his TALK/SHOW, where he, you know, talks to people on stage. Guests on 2/19 include Daniela Sea of ‘The L Word’, John Cameron Mitchell of ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’, and Debbie Harry of FREAKIN’ BLONDIE (if you didn’t know that you are not worthy). Not bad for $15. Joe’s Pub, see below for details.

Hunting season for only two more weeks
Kirk Wood Bromley’s play “The Death of Griffin Hunter” is now at the Brick in Brooklyn (Bricklyn? Never mind), but only for a little while. So go already!
ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS to catch The Death of Griffin Hunter!
Backstage calls The Death of Griffin Hunter: “Fascinating…ambitious political thriller…an edgy kaleidoscope of brutality, humor, eroticism, romance, and philosophizing.”
Time-Out NY calls The Death of Griffin Hunter: “absorbing and amusing…a gaudy political thriller [with] intricately sturdy plotting.”

Like, Whoah
Point Break Live! continues the current trend of silliness in off-off Broadway theater, and we say…
Why not? Whatever works. The idea that a random audience member will get picked to play the Keanu Reeves part every night is pretty clever, too.
