Luke here in class. Here are some things that are happening...
  • Bob doesn't feel bad about not giving us money. BUT he doesn't like doing shows that involves kids being whores and thieves.
  • NO BOSTON ON THE 19th!
  • Mamet instead.

  • Dan= Baby.
  • Alex hates germs.
  • Oh hey The Laramie Project! Alex hates it. As a stage play.
  • Crazy but... deep.
  • Laramie Project? Town? Shepard? Town.
  • "AFTER all, not to create only, or found only,
    But to bring, perhaps from afar, what is already founded,
    To give it our own identity, average, limitless, free;
    To fill the gross, the torpid bulk with vital religious fire;
    Not to repel or destroy, so much as accept, fuse, rehabilitate; 5
    To obey, as well as command—to follow, more than to lead;
    These also are the lessons of our New World;
    —While how little the New, after all—how much the Old, Old World" Walt Whitman
  • Found objects => Appropriation=> Stealing=> Manifest Destiny
  • Object destiny exist.
  • Alex sister's boyfriend is a cabin maker and is crazy... Bird of a feather flock together.
  • OhHhHh Laramie Project was a found object... Its all coming together.
  • Examine subject at hand. Something about theater language.
  • Bertle Brake rectian/ three penny opera
  • Agit Prop= Agitation propaganda
  • More thieves, whores, and beggars.
  • oh hey a new tab on blogger.com... monetize. should i press it? nah.
  • A-Z creates a portrait of the issue in time in America. Late 20th century.
  • OH hey every body its Lisa Lombardo!
  • Back to the issues! The issue was acceptance and tolerance.
  • Kate hates blonds? Watch out Dan!
  • No one helped Bob while he struggled. Do we feel bad? hmmm lemme think about it... No.
  • Barrack equals 100... 0 lets say... Chad. Laramie Project is about 82-90. Annie is either 110 or 20. Suessical -10 before. 120 now.
  • Success-O-meter! (Please note this is all relative) Annie pretty high.

  • Some girl just fell down the hill! She ate it! Now she is muddy! I kinda feel bad.
  • Here is the shape of the play: Meet town=> Wham! Incident=> Middle of crisis (while in hospital. Follows arc and decline)=> Media storm (shows invading quality)=> About perps=> He dies :-(=> Trial.
