Ask Me About My Dice

Tonight at Fort Reno, The DCeiver told me no lies about a couple interesting things. One: President Bush made a little girl cry today. Nice work, a-hole pres. Did you learn nothing during your summit with Putin?

Two: Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind is coming to the District as part of the Capital Fringe Festival. Chicago's longest-running show, it's a dice-based production of chance in which the company, the Neo-Futurists, attempts to stage 30 plays in 60 minutes. Dice? So, for example, the company writes a dozen micro-plays the week of the production; a roll of the dice determines how many of the new plays are subbed in.

Now, when you see it in Chicago, your ticket price is also determined by chance: $x + your roll. But at the Woolly Mammoth Theater, tickets over the eight-show run are $25. Sure, you could roll that—if you're rolling d20! snarf!!

Point being: Enter "SPAC" as a promotional discount code when you buy the tickets online, and you can have the tickets for $10. It's no great tip, I found out via myspace. But ten smackers is a deal: You wouldn't beat that shooting craps.

Dammit! We just bought tickets for this! If only we'd known!

Anyway, Ficke and I are going to the 9 PM show on the 28th.

Also, this in no way redeems MySpace.
