we went and saw haroun and the sea of stories for jason’s birthday on saturday. as a surprise, i think it worked well. i mean…he was surprised. i think. =) i’m still sticking with my avant-garde classification (avant-garde–adj : radically new or original; “an avant-garde theater piece”) hmmm it wasn’t radically new so much though i guess. but it certainly was unusual. what with the stage, the narrator, the video screen, the horrible translation from book to play, and (of course) the clubfoot. which is not to say i didn’t like it. it was pretty fucking fantastic really for something so bizarre. thank god i managed to get the $16 tickets though because i seriously wouldn’t have been as pleased if i paid $43. (me=cheapskate. what can you do rhetoric?)
