Last night we went to see Boozy, the play about Robert Moses and (marginally) Le Corbusier. I enjoyed it because it made no pretense about being pretentious and it was incredibly well-written and witty. Jane Jacobs was Corb's estranged, hyper-feminist ex-girlfriend and organized militant Greenwich Village housewives (who complained, among other things, about Frank Lloyd Wright's crooked penis) to fight Robert Moses's Lower Manhattan Expressway through SoHo. Moses had the support of a divine architectural being and a Fiorello LaGuardia, who was gayer and more animated than Robin Williams. It's a shame their run is ending soon, but it really is a must-see. Who does a play custom-made for architecture/urban planning geeks?

Afterwards we went for treats at Balthazar. Yum.

I thought Boozy was about Booz-Allen. --RJK

Hah. Urban planners make for better plays than defense contractors do.

And wouldn't the I-talian Pecoris be upset as well?

I guess. But I never really grew up around the non-Irish side of my family, so when I think of forefathers, I think of the Irish side.

lol

My Irish side is actually my mother's, for what it's worth. I suppose I could call them my foreparents.
