- I've seen various productions of 42nd Street a few times before, so I wasn't planning on seeing the national touring company in Austin, but my pal Melinda asked if I wanted to go, and I'm glad I did. This was a really wonderful show, with all the energy put just where it should be - into the talent! The dancing and singing were really fantastic, and the acting was first-class, too (especially the actor playing Julian Marsh the director, who was perfect for the role, but ironically was the weakest singer). The sets were very minimal, usually just a painted backdrop, but there were still some clever effects! In one number, a huge set of mirrors came down and leaned toward the stage, so the dancing girls could lie on the floor in a circle and do water ballet movements, while the audience watched the display from above in the mirror! |

- Well, I've been meaning to update my mail server for a little while now, and the deluge of Sobig.F viruses that are getting sent to me just made me sit down and do it. (I received more than 400 copies of it yesterday alone.)Without getting too specific, the new mail server is choc-full-o-features that the old one just didn't have. Of course, I had the old mail server for around 2 years, and it was an old version, and it was free. |
