I was just reading about the FREAKING AWESOME new Guthrie in a magazine, in fact. I am just excited that he is doing Lear on the road, and you guys can see him.  I so wish that show was coming to SF.a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

I so wish that show was coming to SF.I haven't been in to a show since the new building opened, but I've been up to the lookout over the river. GORGEOUS views. And the building is stunning. It's in a really beautiful part of downtown. Actually, the last show I saw at the Guthrie was a few years back.  It was Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? with Patrick Stewart and Mercedes Ruehl. It was quite good. |

so, how was he dressed? kinda bummy. yellow t-shirt, yellow unbuttoned shirt over that, light colored baggy slacks, messy long-ish hair, beard, glasses. i first recognized him when i passed him on the street and i thought it was some crazy old hippie weirdo, then i looked at his face and realized exactly who it was then i was all like "DAAAAANG wtf is this shit" then i gawked from a safe distance for a minute and then i had to go pee. | |
