Worth a Look
Here are some of the articles from last week's greenpage posts that could be worth your time...
Art and life
Backstage at BackstageJobs.com: "In the 72 hours between 10pm Thursday (when I got home from a show) and 10pm Sunday (when I expect to get home from a show), I will have spent 35 hours traveling to, traveling from, or being in a theatre. And this is an easy 3 day period compared to many. Some days are 14-16 hours in the theatre.
These are hours not spent with my family. These are hours not available to spend with my family. This is what is required to work in theatre."White House Honor
Carnegie Mellon University: "The G-20 Summit week concludes Sept. 25, with Carnegie Mellon Professor Gregory Lehane directing First Lady Michelle Obama's concert for the spouses of G-20 leaders — a responsibility undertaken at the special request of the White House."I – Phone apps for Theatre
Ramblings of a Techie: "I recently got a Apple I-Phone 3gs 16gB so I have decided to see what software applications are available for the entertainment industry. so below is a list with links and a brief summary. and were I have used it personally what I think of the app."A.C.T. Offers Valet Bike Parking on Bike to the Theatre Nights
Stage Directions: "American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.), in partnership with the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (SFBC), is providing a greener alternative to theatre transportation. For each production of the season, A.C.T. will host a Bike to the Theatre Night, during which the SFBC will offer free valet bike parking for all patrons who cycle to the theatre. Valet bike parking is available one hour prior to showtime. Bicycles will be attended throughout the evening. Patrons are asked to please bring their own locks."Behind the Curtain of a Customizable Theater
Wired: "The Dallas Arts District Theater was a magnificent piece of crap. Affectionately dubbed the Shed, the junky, corrugated-steel construction looked more warehouse than Koolhaus, but it was basic enough that wild-eyed visionaries would routinely rip out and rearrange seats to fit whatever the current show demanded. Then, in 2005, the Shed was torn down."Fabric Printing with Citra-Solv
Instructables: "Any photograph, image or design that looks good in black and white is a great candidate for printing with Citra-Solv. It's permanent, can be washed in the washer, takes about 2 minutes to do and it's cheap and easy."

Nothing to See Here
So you can see Phipps from CMU. I figured I would go look. So did some other people.
Really you couldn't see much. Police cars, TV lights
Here's a zoomier view
of course, it actually looks like this
a little further up the street. There were guys like this every 50 yards or so, plus others on horseback.
using the fence as a tripod (max zoom is usually blurrier)
nice doggie
but in the end, prolly more interesting on TV.
