I imagine it being a William Finn type musical. I know Dan would be foaming at the mouth if Sondheim wanted to do it. William Finn wrote the 24th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Tim and I are going tonight to see the This American Life broadcast.

Fans of sex columnist and author Dan Savage's funny, blunt, sometimes raunchy, but always grounded sex and relationship advice may be catching even more of him soon. A possible TV series based on his longtime syndicated column Savage Love is in the works, as is a stage musical based on his memoir The Kid, about his and his boyfriend's adventures adopting their son. "It's a little weird," he tells EW. "In The Commitment [his book about gay marriage], I kept talking about how getting married is kind of like putting on a Broadway show about your relationship. And now there's going to actually be one."
He'll also be featured in a live stage production of the NPR radio show This American Life, along with host Ira Glass, that's being beamed live from New York tonight at 8 p.m. ET to over 400 movie screens nationwide. (Check here for locations and tickets.) Savage will join a number of performers including Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, and TAL favorites like Starlee Kine and David Rakoff. ''There's something about that show that creates such a bond with the listeners," Savage says about Glass's program, which also had a TV version picked up by Showtime (clip embedded below). "To put in one room a couple of thousand people who are really passionate about it -- there's an elatedness about the energy and about how special the event feels."

It is another one of those Crazy Christian groups that really only has one platform, those crazy people are destroying our Christian Society. I like messing with them.
I'm also a Slog Tipper for Dan Savage. That made my day.

Did you engage in premarital sex?
Then, YES you are.
Learn what you should do for your children. And yes, this is from our government, not some christian organization or non-profit. Our tax dollars at work on another failed policy.

I some how started listening to the Savage Love Podcast. It may have something to do with the This American Life podcast. Dan Savage is a “frequent contributor” to this American Life and I always love his excerpts from his books. They tend toward the hilarious side. On the way back from
One side effect of reading Dan Savage's books is that I am obsessively regularly checking The Stranger (his home paper) for his Blogs. I don’t really want to read his other two books because they are really about what I like about him. I did give The Commitment and The Kid to Sue to read. Their appeal crosses sexual preference lines. I kind of would like to give them to my mom, but there are too many things that I would have to black out for her to read.
I got to complete the trifecta in Gay reading[2].
David Sedaris is coming to
Oh and I randomly bought Maura a book by her favorite author Diana Gabaldon[3], too. It was totally on a book buying high too[4].
[1] I Loved it, loved it, loved it. I really wanted to rush out and get her previous book, The Kid, immediately. I also loved that one too.
[2] Sedaris, Burroughs, and Savage. I had already read David Sedaris’s Holidays on Ice, so technically I had already completed the trifecta.
[4] There is nothing like the cloulding joy of buying a book to overcome my naturally stingy proclivities. I am a money hoarder, but I love giving people books they will love. And I love my sister.
