Brenner, that's quite possibly the nicest compliment I (er..."we") have ever recieved. Thanks for saying something, (we get a little nervous sometimes that our opinionted, occassionally negative reviews will inspire death threats, not compliments) and glad to hear you'll be at "I Love My Dead Gay Son: The Musical!" It should be noted, Austinist readers, that Brenner gives his own intelligent commentary on Ellen's piece here: http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2006-03-17/arts_review2.html

Hey you, JoMo. I'm replying in the comments section of your Spank Dance piece, obviously; but this is a general comment, addressing much of what you've done with reviews and interviews for Austinist. The comment is this: Damned good and thoughtful work, Jonathon. It's really encouraging to see someone writing about the local arts scene, for a source outside the Typical Two (The Chron, the Real-Estatesman), especially when that someone, even when you might disagree with him on various points, really knows what the fuck he's talking about. It's the informed intelligence of your articles on this website, as well as the title of Yellow Tape's next show, that has me planning on seeing I Love My Dead Gay Son: the Musical. Bravo & rock on & so forth.
