Just saw a performance of HADESTOWN in London! Had a great time, although it's tough not to compare it with the studio album and cast recording from America. The band were superb and most of the cast were great. I wasn't so pleased with the choice to keep natural accents for singing — made a lot of lines / rhymes feel quite forced. Certainly picked up in the second half, which is where the meat off the thing really is.

Holy crap! I’ve been obsessed since first seeing the movie a couple years back and this did not disappoint. Rhea Norwood kills it as Sally in the most beautifully manic kind of way. The theatre is GORGEOUS. The whole cast superb. If you get the chance GO!!!

Koudelka was a photographer who documented Europe from the 60s onwards, recording the lives of travelling people, Soviet invasions, struggles with poverty, and more. He later became a member of the Magnum society and continued his work into old age. If you have the time, it's really worth digging into his work as he had a real eye for striking images that provide a lot of context for the situation he was in. He used to travel with very little besides a sleeping bag and camera so he often experienced the harsher side of life while on the job. At times his photos were smuggled out of the soviet borders, and published anonymously, to keep him safe. Check the link for a good starting point on Magnum's website!

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...
