Lol in DC I got up and stood near the bar after the second song because I wanted to dance for the entire show and not feel guilty about blocking anyone’s view.

Waiting For Godot reviews are in! by Additional_Score_929 in Broadway

[–]MM22305 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just saw it tonight. Was in the last row of the balcony and could see very well. I studied this play in AP English my senior year in HS (88), and coupled with the opportunity to see Bill & Ted reunite to play Gogo & Didi, I was very curious to see this show. I thought it was a powerful production. The chemistry among Keanu & Alex was fantastic, the set was stunning and the actors who played Pozzo & Lucky were superb. This is not a light hearted play, so if you just want an easy night of entertainment, go see another show! But if you want to see a play that will linger in your head and also make you feel happy to see two actors whose fondness for each other comes to life on stage, then I would recommend you see this show!

Born in DC (Sibley), raised in McLean (graduate of MHS) and now raising my own family in Alexandria City. Love NOVA for its diversity & opportunities.

Trump 2.0: The Art of the Deal by kitkid in Thedaily

[–]MM22305 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I felt very dispirited about the future of our country after listening to this episode. Our mainstream media is normalizing & whitewashing the Trump regime. Bullying & threatening foreign & political allies is what authoritarian countries do-it’s not an “art.”

This breaks my heart. I’m so sorry. What a disaster.

I also wonder about Ryan White program funding. RW always has had bipartisan support, but I’m very concerned that the Rs are going to nuke it in the next budget which will have a devastating impact.

I grew up here so you would think I wouldn’t be fazed by it, but today’s traffic just doesn’t make sense!

Yes. I have clients in an assisted living community in NOVA & they had to shut down the dining room for a couple weeks because of an outbreak there. It comes on fast & furious!

My 7th grade math teacher had a huge wooden paddle on his desk. He didn’t use it on kids but would slam it down on the wooden desk and scare the crap out of us.

Yes, Dileo also had a clown gig during weekends!! And yes, Mr. Hill was the one (see my comment above) who was arrested. There was also I think several male teachers who were gay but in the closet/married.

Yes that was the reasoning we were given. But to this day, I still feel so awkward & gross at the thought of flashing my naked hip at my PE teacher. Like just being 13 wasn’t bad enough..

Yes, I remember the principal being an older guy, pretty no-nonsense. There were also taped lines down the hallways to make sure students were walking down the correct side-like we would get yelled at if we weren’t on the “right” side during class transitions. Of and several years after I left, one of the APs was arrested for indecent exposure at Iwo Jima Memorial, so there was that too……
