Go ahead and read that first sentence again. The words that you read, they do not mean what you thought they mean.

Sounds interesting. It also sounds like the show may be trying too hard. I gave up on Austin theater and theater in general for that reason. There is nothing worse than theater that screams, "Look at me! I am different and new!" I would rather be genuinely interested in something rather than tricked into watching. For someone looking to get back into the theater scene this doesn't seem like a good re-introduction. On a totally unrelated note. The first line of this article really got my goat. "Let’s be honest: many of us moved to Austin for Austin, transplants from other towns or states looking to vibe on the quirks and cool that, for better or worse, have established this city’s reputation from here to Japan." Some of us were born in Austin and may take offense that "transplants" are responsible for adding to the vibe and giving "Austin reputation from here to Japan." I welcome all transplants to my wonderful city. They hardly deserve any type of praise for adding to the vibe and quirks of Austin. If anything they detract from it by making the city a melting pot of pretentious scaly wags and condo dwelling wannabe's. Signed, Bitter person who can hardly afford to live in his home town anymore and wishes Austin would stop keeping it weird and start keeping in like it was 20 years ago.
