This Peruvian journalist we hosted last week as part of an exchange asked me how to download and save youTube vids. any good way to capture Flash? I told him it wasn't possible. He looked disappointed.
i switched my Blogger back end language to Spanish. Evidently "bold" is negrita in Spanish. That's kind of like saying "blackened." That was a pretty good Metallica song. They're playing acoustic at the Bridge School benefit this year. If anyone wants to buy me a ticket that's great. Mall Security was denied a spot, despite submitting this video for consideration.
I saw Ryan Auffenberg the other night at the Make Out Room in SF. We did not make out, though he is a sexy singing machine.
In other now-they're-famous news, Dan Hoyle's latest one-man play Tings Dey Happen got extended in Manhattan and a nice review in the NYTimes. Check it out. I think his dad might be acting in a circus in SF too.
Northwestern Univ. grad Jeffrey Newburg was on TV the other night, playing a lower-class lover scorned by the woman he loved in a Cold Case episode. She went for the rich guy who bought her loads of flowers. Newburg looks skinnier, and with more hair than the time he shaved every little hair off his body, but less than I remember him having. And I thought TV added 10 pounds.
In tonight's news, I went to the SF symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas. He's an alright narrator, he spent minutes telling the crowd about the various pieces. It was the yearly "all concert," a $10 affair for the non-traditional symphony-going crowd, which chimed in throughout the performance with cell phone ringtones, snoring, crinkly candy wrappers, offensive smells and various other entertainment. The program (below) was a bit too "gorgeous," as MTT put it. Something to drown out the random noise might be more appropriate, or they could hand out noisemakers to the crowd to employ at certain points. Like whoopee cushions.
