Avenue Q won the Tony Award for best musical (and best book and best score)! Yay!
By the way, how cute was Rod—and John Tartaglia—hitting on Hugh Jackman? Here’s a photo. “Okay, mate…” “Ooh, say it again.” “G’day, mate.” “Touch me.”
On Thursday former President Bill Clinton, whose memoir will be published later this month, gave a speech at BookExpo America in Chicago. The Times reports, “He joked that some of the Arkansas characters he describes might have come from a novel by Gabriel García Márquez.”
García Márquez! His El coronel no tiene quien le escriba was the first book we read in my Spanish literature class in high school way back when, so my eyes twinkled at the mention. Oh, Bill. We are of the same ilk, you and I. (If you start quoting Borges…) Let’s see our current president try to drop a foreign literary reference with similar aplomb.
Aside: I just found out that the Clinton library will open this November. Road trip! Kidding. Sort of.
