All of the shows

At some point, I stopped writing about all of the shows.  I think it was around a time when I had hoped to write with more substance vs. reporting where I'd been -- but, I've missed logging some amazing things I've seen as a result so, in the last year, here are the shows I've found significant, and a few words about each:

JD McPherson (Pure energy and fun)
Faulted (Strange and wonderful)
Kinky Boots (Important, incredible, touching, beautifully performed)
Mike Birbiglia (Hilarious [and, I got to meet him!])
Kurios (Magical, creative, full of fantastic surprises)
Mittens & Mistletoe: A Winter Circus Cabaret (Impressive and fun)
Upright Citizen's Brigade (SketchFest - Amazing show)
Edinburgh Fringe w/ Janeane Garofalo (SketchFest - Best. Comedy. Showcase. Evar.)
Let There Be Love (Absolutely lovely and touching)
A Little Night Music (Delightful! Sexy, silly, beautifully performed)
Wicked (Denver - Visceral, beautiful, energetic, relevant...and, impactful)
One Man, Two Guvnors (Physically impressive, completely entertaining)
Plastic Persons (Matt and Tom - Perfectly nostalgic)
Jake Shimabukuro (Transcendent)
Amelie (FANTASTIC. Sweet, charming, touching, good silliness, beautiful set, great performances)
The Unheard of World (Dark, sweet, physical)
Fourth Messenger concert (Inspirational, moving, powerful)
Glen Hansard (Pure emotion)
Clybourne Park (Challenging, wonderfully humorous, topical)
SF Hip Hop Dance Fest (Energizing and inspiring)

Dogtown

Dogtown used to be written in spray paint.  


Now it's typography.
