Coincidences in the past five minutes of my life:

Went to theonering.net and right at the top was a news item about The One Man Lord of the Rings show at UBC. Hey, that's my school!

So then I email the news to a few of my friends and family, and then I surf onto the website of author Orson Scott Card who had, lo and behold, just lately posted a review of One Man Star Wars.

This means that anyone who's anyone has seen the One Man shows.

Wow, you're really lucky to have a good comedian come to perform at your school. Our latest comedian, Lewis Black was ok, but rather uninspired and a little ticked off by some of the jerks in the audience. It was is our basketball arena, so there were a lot of people there, anywhere from 5,000+, so he didn't really get a chance to shine. What I really wanted to comment about however was the great article by Orson Scott Card you linked to, I'd never heard of him before, but reading some of his other articles, he seems like a fun writer. Definitely will bookmark the site. Thanks.

I think the performer is from the area and might even have gone to my school, so it's not really a lucky coincidence. But yes, we are lucky to have lots of artsy people around here. :) Though I'm actually not in school right now--I'm currently working at a in a student position in a publishing house, away from town, so I'm going to miss the performances. Bummer.

Glad you've discovered Orson Scott Card! Very open-minded of you to look at the website of an author you don't know--I don't really have the patience for new things nowadays, bad me. But anyway, Card's reviews are great because he is willing to review anything and everything--American Idol, sponges, movies, restaurants, the list goes on. And unlike a lot of authors he doesn't use teh big wurds to make himself sound smart.

On another note, I highly recommend his novel Ender's Game, even if you don't like sci-fi. I'm not much of a sci-fi fan but I LOVED this book. Powerful story and an engaging read.
