I saw Rent off Broadway years ago. Drew Lachay played Mark Cohen. We had front row seats. I learned I don't like sitting in the front as I worried sweat would drip on me, and that grosses me out. Good show, however.

I saw it at IU (Bloomington). What energy! Still one of my favorite shows.
Hi Elphaba! I am also Canadian, but about 10 hrs west of your avatar. That's too bad :( I've been dying for a geek meet! I also fall not-too-left of you on the political spectrum and hope that Harper gets the boot in our next election.
What are your thoughts on the Jian Ghomeshi scandal??!
This just came up on my FB feed. I got a chuckle. I'm assuming this isn't getting any press in the states though, right?

The guy in the back is an amazing satirical author and artist. Check out some of his stuff if you have a chance (Douglas Coupland). Not sure who the woman is, but the guy in front is Jian Ghomeshi. Up until recently he was a radio host on CBC with an amazing culturally based show. He has been described as the "Golden Goose" of the CBC. He was fired two weeks ago when there was 'graphic proof' that he was sexually assaulting women under the guise of BSDM.
Nobody wanted to believe it at first and there was a lot of victim shaming and Ghomeshi himself was talking sh*t about how these women were jilted ex girlfriends who were just trying to get revenge, etc. etc., but now we are up to 9 women coming forward with claims of either rape or sexual assault against him. He's suddenly been quite quiet about the whole thing...
The link below is one of the original ones - there haven't really been any updates in the last week or so. Once the charges were pressed, Ghomeshi and CBC both shut up about the whole thing. It is, however, gossip on a national level!
I only asked where you are because I've had geek meets with two Canadian geeks so far, one in Vancouver and one in Kelowna. I live just north of Seattle so not too far!
