The NYTPicker has an interesting post up related to the whole Brighton Beach Memoirs<\/strong> fiasco<\/a>; what they’re reporting is that the failure of this revival may have had a great deal to do with an unusually restrictive advertising deal the NYT<\/strong> made with the producers of the show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the understanding that both of these people are good friends of mine (can you say “blogrolling”? I knew you could.) I’m linking to Lawrence’s interview with the actor we’ve hired to play<\/span> Karl Rehn of KR Training<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Consider this an official endorsement of Child’s Play<\/a>. I have donated money to them in the past and will do so again this year if I have any to spare. (I just checked: Yes! The Desert Bus guys are doing it again this year<\/a>! November 20th; mark your calendar.)<\/p>\n

Edited to add: by way of Jimbo<\/a>, who killed Chicago crime reporter Jake Lingle<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Edited to add 2: I forgot that I wanted to note this LAT<\/strong> story<\/a>, mostly because I don’t know what to make of it. The headline and sub-head imply that the main concern of the article is “Private citizens can fly high-performance jet aircraft? Oh, noes!” However, buried towards the bottom of the article is a more interesting story; allegations that the FAA investigation into this case was sandbagged. (I was wondering where a convicted felon gets the money to purchase one of those planes; however, Google tells me that a 1973 L-39C Albatros goes for around $269,500<\/a>. Or somewhat less than a house in LA.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
