Twitter Weekly Digest for 2009-07-26

July 26th, 2009
  • Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark w/ friend's 16 y.o. sis: "They should have subtitles so I know they're looking for an ARK and not an ARC." #
  • Very disappointed by Spring Awakening. Shallow, short, cliched, and unworthy of 8 Tony awards. Go watch Les Mis or Shakespeare instead. #
  • Is in the possession of 11 wonderful new Broadway musical soundtracks… And seeing Spring Awakening tonight at Kennedy Center #
  • Will Arnett reads "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" like a creepy old man. Hilarity ensues. http://bit.ly/m7wJZ #
  • Finally something to tweet about: free burrito at Baja Fresh with drink purchase: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/22795 #
  • Saw "Lawrence of Arabia" at the AFI Silver Theatre last night. Beyond incredible. #

  • @OurGWSA Congrats on the new website and blog! More information and greater transparency is always a good thing. #
  • King Lear at STC was the most technically impressive production I’ve ever seen. Sitting 4th row center helped too. Tix: http://bit.ly/leardc #
