Betty & Joan: Free to Be Friends @ UCBT - 11.3.5
Joan looks on as Betty recovers from her massive headwound
From the program:
The 1970's were a marvelous time for music, politics, and film. But television? That was another story... Until two very special women came along and made beautiful music together, and it was far out. Of course I'm talking about Betty Maddox and Joan Stein's landmark children's show, Betty and Joan: Free to Be Friends. Free to Be Friends was cancelled instantly by small-minded male network executives based on the hundreds of strongly-worded recommendations from child psychiatrists they received five minutes into its one and only airing. Tonight, for the first time since its 1972 debut, you'll see this groundbreaking show in its glorious feel-good entirety.
NOTES
--Sue Galloway and Julie Klausner are hilarious. This is a really fun show with surprisingly exceptional set design. It has a Strangers With Candy sort of penchant for twisted one-liners and for its dark humour wrapped in a cheery outer layer.
--Despite playing a lesbian, Julie Klausner's Joan is the perfect comedic straight-man.
--The show was sold out due to Rufus Wainright making an appearance on The Dave Hill Explosion--the show on the second half of a double billing.
Shylock the Owl comes out of his hidey-hole to say Hello!
Free to Be Friends runs at the UCBT every Monday throughout the month of November.

I would dare say that the show was sold out because both shows have very talented people in them. Rufus's appearance undoubtedly helped (I don't think it was even really advertised that he was going to be there until the last minute?). Anyway, I would highly recommend going to see The Dave Hill Explosion next week!!! It's hilarious. Free to Be Friends also, though I think they will be on separate nights going forward.

No doubt everyone was talented and great, but Rufus' appearance was hyped by the NYC music blogs as early as October 25th and the news was later picked up by print publications. The man sold out 2 shows at the Beacon...

In The Lord of the Rings OnlineTM: Shadows of AngmarTM (LOTRO), players can customize certain elements of the game's user interface (UI), also known as "skinning." While we don't allow you to do a full-scale UI replacement, we do give you the ability to replace selected visual elements of the UI. (A full list of these elements and their sizes is provided at the end of this overview.)
