London

So, as I prepare for a trip to England, I am inundated with memories of London from my semester abroad at Goldsmiths College back in the Spring of 2003.
It's hard to believe it has been that long. 
Memories of Performances, of mediocre to excellent theater come to mind.
As an international student they offered a class where every week they bought us theatre tickets, we all attended the show and then in class we would discuss it.  Brilliant!  They also always had extra tickets, so I took my mates along for free as well.  (Seeing as I was one of the few Americans to make an effort to actually get to know the British Students that I was surrounded by, it was always easy to grab the extra tix.) I could never understand how these Americans could go to London and not make friends with Londoners.  What's the point of being in a foreign country if all your going to do is hang with other Americans.  I had the time of my life.  I think these other students were just on an extended vacation.

So as I prepare to see some old friends from my Uni days in London, I also prepare to see some London Theatre.  Any suggestions?

Of course, as I don't go to Broadway when I'm in New York, I won't be going to the West End while I'm in London. 
Speaking of New York.  I'm on my way to NYC the weekend before I head to London.  Not too shabby.
I'm going to be checking out the NoPassport Conference at the NUYORICAN POETS CAFE on March 4th and 5th.  This conference is headed up by an amazingly prolific woman, Caridad Svich. NoPassport
If you're in NYC.  This is worth checking out.  


I'm also really excited to be attending Storm Still by the Nonsense Company at PS122.  
It runs through March 6th and is worth checking out if you're in NYC.
