Producing

I’ve recreated my old blog template after installing WordPress over the weekend. Matt keeps getting on my case about making a new design, though. He’s made fun of me for having used the same logo for the last three years. I don’t know… I wouldn’t necessarily mind a new design or logo, but I have zero design skills. If someone wanted to make a new logo for me, I’d consider using it.

Matt and I had a busy weekend. On Saturday afternoon we saw Broadway: The Golden Age, a terrific documentary by Rick McKay in which dozens of legendary Broadway actors and producers (some of whom have died since McKay interviewd them) talk about what it was like to be on Broadway in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Rare footage of plays and musicals is sprinkled throughout. We both really enjoyed it. Then our Gay Gotham Chorus concert was on Saturday night, after which we went out to dinner with my parents. (Matt insisted on paying, over my dad’s protests.)

On Sunday we decided to go to the TKTS booth in Times Square and wound up getting tickets to see “Caroline, or Change again. We first saw it January when it was at the Public Theater, but we’d wanted to see it again. I have to say, I enjoyed it just as much the second time around. Tonya Pinkins’s voice was a little raw in the upper registers, but other than that, she still gave a powerhouse performance. She’s a trouper. The album comes out soon, and I can’t wait to buy it.

Anyway, it was nice to produce some entertainment this weekend as well as consume some. It reminds me of that old saying: “Straight men reproduce; gay men produce.”

OK, I just made that up. It’s not an old saying. But it should be.
