4. Last movie you saw? Babel, wrote about it on Sunday.
5. Last book you read? Faithful are the Wounds by May Sarton.
6. Best show legendary biz/movie star encounter. When working for The Public Theater in 1980 in Central Park on Pirates of Penzance I met Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith, Kevin Kline, Patricia Routledge, Joseph Papp - Ruth Gordon sat in front of me on opening night, Tommy Tune blocked my view one night. It was star-studded silliness all summer.7. Proudest media moment? Does this count? If not, I've had a couple of nice reviews for productions in The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.

Oh my gosh with the fireworks at the airport!!!
It was certainly a surprise. So when you hear the guy in the movie say "What? I've never seen those before." It's not necessarily stilted writing.
Really I haven't, officer. Eh-heh
hahahaha How did that ROCKET get in my bag???
Firework in the lugguage...that's a bit freaky isn't it? :)
In Singapore airport, you can't even say such a word!
Matt - I was horrified. I've never been to the Singapore airport, but I've flown Air Singapore many times to Amsterdam - best airline ever!
