Johnnylobo/spambot:No one loves your blog. TML was my college obsession. I went at least once a month in the early 2000's. I don't live far from there now, and love seeing the line on weekend nights. The play that still kills me was "Conversational Greek for Beginners". The castmembers reciting phrases in greek, posing at marble statues, while another cast member read the translation. The line, that I still repeat to friends "Fetch me a hand basin, for I am dying." literally stopped the show. One guy in the audience was laughing so hard and so loud he could barely breathe. Brilliant stuff. Congrats to them.

@mlliu They have a NYC chapter these days... I think it started four years ago? I went to college out east and was thrilled when they started TML -- I needed my fix. Last I was there (two years ago, I think), they were $10+ roll of a die. Also not sure if they're in the same theater -- they moved around quite a bit. But it's worth it...

Damn, I never got to see TMLMTBGB while I was still in Chicago. Here's hoping they'll stick around for at least another 20 more years.

I saw "A Very Neo-Futurist Christmas Carol" last Thursday night and loved it. Haven't yet been to Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, but I was so impressed with the performance that I may just have to bite the bullet and stay up past my bedtime for this show.
