The Mime Troupe and the Not Very Aerodynamic Crackhead

Go see the SF Mime Troupe's "2012-The Musical." The show is better than ever.



Nothing is more San Francisco than a free, green, power-to-the-people outdoor performance in the park being interrupted by a crackhead (2012 model--less aerodynamic and using more gas) weaving in front of the stage screaming "Get out of my fffffff___ing WAY!"

All the green this and queer that and co-operative and vegan the other thing and handing out manifestos to Save the Wall Street Ten. OK, I lied about the Wall Street Ten. Aging, potbellied, tie-dyes, sandals and bandanas. The smell of pot.

OK, maybe it's medicinal pot. Maybe it's artisinal pot. They rhyme, and the show's a musical.



It's always a gorgeous day to be outdoors. And this year there was a press blanket! No sitting at a 30 degree angle on the hillside!

If you're vigilant you might see Saint Plotniko's official father-son theater review squad in action.



Why would anyone live here and miss the Mime Troupe? It makes you feel young. If you're already young, it makes you glad you're not old yet.

Was July 4 only yesterday? Plotnik had his yearly physical this morning. How could he have packed all that worry into one day?
