We didn't mention the atrocious sound in our review of Frost/Nixon because it was opening night and we were sure they'd fix it--on her way out, one woman shouted at a guy near a soundboard, "Fix the sound!" Unfortunately, he was a lighting technician. Throughout the evening, the play sounded like a shitty VoIP conference call--you really had to strain to hear around the tinny echoes. But we just noticed Michael Upchurch complaining about the same thing in his review of the Flight of the Conchords show. Acoustics are famously tricky in the Paramount--only the organ ever really sounds at home there--but what we heard sounded like bad tech.

"I don't know that you can make him too sympathetic. I don't think that that's possible."

Frost/Nixon plays tonight at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 1 and 6:30 p.m. at the Paramount Theatre. Tickets are $18-$60 plus fees.

We are less excited about the Oscar’s this year because of the lack of a funny host. Chris Rock (hooray), Jon Stewart (hooray), Hugh Jackman (?). Sure the guy is fricking hot, and he can sing and dance--we, however, want jokes.

Kim is shooting from the hip this weekend (papow!). The only solid plan is her friend's weekly L Word watching party on Sunday. Between now and then, she'll probably go see Shenandoah Davis at 2020 Cycle with Your Heart Breaks and KHV. Maybe there'll be a delicious meal culled from our local farmers markets. Maybe she'll hop on a train and go to Portland. Anything could happen, people. Anything.
