It was their big weekend away and they had tickets to Lion King on Sat night. Needless to say they are not happy! She asked me what was going on...so I just linked her to your blog Bruce. So much easier then me droning on and on! <BR/><BR/>P.S. The links are a very pretty blue color and therefore only add to overall beauty of your blog! I like them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003558331120575193.post-19362887085704975722007-11-13T14:30:00.000-05:002007-11-13T14:30:00.000-05:00I don't like the links at the beginning of the art...I don't like the links at the beginning of the article. If you have to have links, why not put them at the end. At the beginning, it feels like a wall I have to climb over before reading the thing I came here to read. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous writes: "Having you 'explain' the negotiation seems to add fuel to the 'Richmonders don't know anything outside of the local theatre pool' fire." What fire is he talking about? There's a firestorm of controversy over the fact that there are Richmonders who don't keep up with the New York Times?? <BR/><BR/>I can't believe that anyone is surprised or cares. Is it really the talk of the internet that many Richmonders don't keep up with Broadway news on a daily basis? Good grief. Someone needs to get a life.<BR/><BR/>Hip hip hooray for Anonymous that he reads the New York Times. Many of us don't. We can't afford home delivery and we don't like reading newspapers on line. If it hadn't been for you and the Barksdale Blog, I wouldn't have known about the Broadway strike at all. Last I heard, it was still pending. <BR/><BR/>So, I'm just writing to say that you're doing the right thing to remember that many of us enjoy your blog articles about New York theater, because we don't keep up. There, I've admitted it. I hope Anonymous can stand living in a tent that leaves room for all of us Richmonders who are among the great unwashed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003558331120575193.post-37377269676092793572007-11-13T06:51:00.000-05:002007-11-13T06:51:00.000-05:00Clearly you're going to be damned if you do and da...Clearly you're going to be damned if you do and damned if you don't. I liked your blog entry much better before you "improved" it to suit the tastes of your anonymous critic. If I wanted links, I'd go to Google. What I want is YOUR opinion and analysis. That's why I read the Barksdale blog. And I have absolutely no problem with your using the NY Times as source material. Who better to use for this story. My advice is to do it your way; you're a good writer and frankly I found your piece more compelling and understandable than the articles I read in the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal. You'll never satisfy everyone.

Looks like that was your main source, including the photos. Those of us who care about the industry are already following the news. Having you "explain" the negotiation seems to add fuel to the "Richmonders don't know anything outside of the local theatre pool" fire. I recommend using links to begin your blogs, then share your opinion to help us get a good discussion going. Keep up the good work. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
