I got chills just when that guy was stealth rappelling down this awesome abandoned looking space station of whatever. Eeep!

I was taking Walker to the airport where he was getting on a plane for Heathrow and then taking a train to Exeter to visit his girlfriend over October break. We were in the second act, and they started singing “Stay Alive” when I told him I couldn’t listen to that part right before dropping him off.

Have you seen Parks and Ham? Truly my level of humor. http://notanecromancer.tumblr.com/post/132355475179/iamazeandastonish-favorites-from-parksandham

The whole read was engrossing and upsetting, and incredibly well-written. That opening anecdote is definitely heartbreaking.
When the author quotes Delores McQuinn as saying “our history is often buried”, it reminded me of a road trip my friend and I took recently. There is a Harriet Tubman Driving Tour on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, that collects significant sites together under the umbrella story of Harriet Tubman’s life and the black and white communities that lived there. We had the audio companion to the tour downloaded to my friend’s phone and had the eerie experience of being parked at a pier in Cambridge, MD and hearing that slave trade ships once docked there. It made the landscape alive with the experience of enslaved people.

I wonder if people like me who will not be in London for the play can still watch it somehow.

I am not a superfan, but you can’t help but get excited watching that 🙂
