I don't think the existence of other playwrights/companies is really evidence enough that Lett's play wasn't of merit or those others weren't given a "shot." Are you suggesting playwrights should be ...

I was at one of the Evanston screenings. Ours was more like halfway through. It was pretty horribly managed by the theater. Rather than just give us passes and let us be on our way, they had to initia...

Yeah, I don't know who they were but in my circle, the cevapcici were the hit of the fest. ...

Ho-lee crap, indeed. Never a letdown lineup. They should call it "The New Pornographers featuring Neko Case" when she is appearing with them....

I'm so mad I can't make this. The Monster Squad, though mostly because of nostalgia, is still one of my favorite movies. It's cool that they wrangled Dekker to stop by. Maybe next year they can do Nig...

Twilight Sad at Empty Bottle on Thursday night should be pretty good as well. They were a highlight of Pitchfork for me....
