Austin Metblogs @ Monday 30 January 2012 at 5:30 pm

“Enthralling” is the one-word description for the current Austin Lyric Opera production of Lucia di Lammermoor.

You’re probably not like me and are able to cope with the scope of the massively collaborative and on-going Pacific Standard Time exhibitions that fall under the ambitious region-wide initiative’s banner.

Seriously, Johnstown?
Pittsburgh Metblogs @ Thursday 22 September 2011 at 12:34 am

A Johnstown area school district, Richland, pulled their scheduled performance of the play “Kismet” (which I’ve never heard of by the way), because there are Muslim characters in the play and the performance was going to be near September 11. The superintendent cited the fact that they are near Shanksville as the reason for pulling ... Continue Reading

UPDATE Stole Cat
Atlanta Metblogs @ Wednesday 6 July 2011 at 8:59 pm

The super-edgy suburban mall chain clothing store, Forever 21, has a reputation for ripping off designer’s work.

Bold.   R. ... Continue Reading
