Humana 07 Pt. 3

03.18.2007

Today’s post will be written in two parts. So check back late tonight for my thoughts on dark play or stories for boys.
Also, THIS is now where you go for the list of every Humana play ever in order.
We just saw The Unseen, which I really liked. Y’know, I think this is the best year since 2003 (Omnium/Faculty Room). It’s definitely better than the last two. I can already say that, and we’ve got one play (rumored to be the best of the fest) to go today, and Batch later on. Sweet. I’m having fun.

3.17.07 Humana (Big Bad Theatre Weekend)

03.17.2007

If you’re just joining us, you can go here for complete coverage of last year’s Humana, as well as a great intro to the whole phenomena and my experience with it over the last decade.

On to now … I’m at Day’s Espresso Shop, and the coffee is reeeeaaallllllllly fucking good. So smoothe. I’ve got a little booth to myself, the WIFI is strong, I’ve got my iPod Shuffle, and there are outlets seemingly everywhere. So, I’m very, very happy. It’s 9:33am. The perfect time to let out all my thoughts about last night.

Wow, they’re playing my favorite Peter, Paul, and Mary album here. That totally fuckin rules.

Every year I anxiously await one event more than any other.

HUMANA FESTIVAL!!!

I leave tomorrow for Louisville. I imagine this will probably result in a blog, which, since everyone who reads my blogs will be there, probably no one will read.

Hmmm … Maybe we can have a battle of the blogs!
