Davey Norkett's Got MD Squared Up His Sleeve!

Sunday, June 6, 2010

Street: Spuistraat 189
City/Town: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Here's a MAP (As Miss Carolina might say):



There's that DAM Square just around the corner! (Love that stupid old joke.)
Nearby Amsterdam Historical Museum was one of my favorite spots to visit when I lived in that town -- it preserved an old block of homes that dated from before A'Dam became capital city of the rebellious Protestant Netherlands circa 1620.
(Actually, the lowlands were capriciously invaded by armies of the bloody Counter-Reformation before any rebellion occurred, but that's a whole other story.)

From Western Europe to Moscow and Back!

Muh-num-uh-NUNS! doo-doo-dee-DOO-DOO!

It says: Été 2010... onze compagnies européennes de théâtre s’unissent pour une tournée événement qui les mènera de Namur à Moscou en passant par Brno, Francfort-sur-Main.... et Villeneuve-lès-Avignon !

Un village itinérant. Des spectacles et des rencontres aux accents multiples... Les artistes de MIR Caravan 2010 promènent sur les routes d’Europe l’âme et l’humeur d’une expérience artistique inédite. Un défi ambulant qui mêlera les publics, les regards, les envies, les rêves... Et si le théâtre et la création indépendante étaient LE ciment du puzzle européen ?

Translated via Babel Fish as: Summer 2010… eleven European companies of theatre are linked for a round event which will carry out them of Namur in Moscow while passing by Brno, Frankfurt-on-Hand…. and Villeneuve-the-Avignon!

An itinerant village. Spectacles and meetings with the multiple accents… The artists of MIR Caravan 2010 walk on the roads of Europe the heart and the mood of a new artistic experiment. A travelling challenge which will mix the public ones, the glances, the desires, dreams… And if the theatre and independent creation were cement of the European puzzle?


Hmmm -- I might request some live updates in English!

Outriders from Coney Island

Read the Unicycle NYC Bridge Tour Blog!
Keith "Bindlestiff" Nelson and his posse rode over 42 miles on unicycles last Sunday, sometimes accompanied by thousands of bicyclists doing the "Five Boroughs Ride."
Nelson's party crossed the Verrazano Narrows Bridge which connects Brooklyn and Staten Island as part of their weekly quest to cross all of NYC's two thousand-plus bridges.
