A Message With A Meaning
These days people are visibly expressing themselves on everything from their jewelry to their t-shirts to their bumpers. And while you're out personalizing all that surrounds you, creating a comfortable space of your own no matter where you roam, why not send the world a message that means something.
Coexist, the above label, can be found at Terrapin Station displayed on both t-shirts and bumper stickers. It is a call for tolerance and understanding in an increasingly hectic and divided world. Each of the letters in the word "coexist" represent a different system of thought - from the cresent and star for Islam (C) to the cross for Christianity (t). The blue bumper stickers are just $2, and the t-shirts (in a variety of colors) cost $17.50. I have both of them, and I'll tell you the compliments come rather ceaselessly- from people of all shapes and sizes, from all walks of life who share the simple ideal of a benevolent and open-minded existence.
Terrapin Station 1172 Hertel Ave.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:25am

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am

Unsurprisingly, the Discordians were overlooked by the designer(s).
