Don't know when I'll be back again

Just a quick note, here, as I'm seeing a lot of discussion on my flist about the new security measures at airports.
Airlines !== TSA
In fact, I would say that at base there is an antagonistic relationship between the two, because every new layer of security that the TSA establishes means fewer passengers, crankier passengers, and more difficulty getting to passengers, who then demand lower ticket prices in exchange for their inconvenience.
Yes, the airlines certainly can take steps (ones which cut into their already pretty thin baseline) to accomodate people who have been inconvenienced by the new security measures. But they're not the ones telling you to throw out your water bottle so that a third party can then charge you $5 for a replacement inside security.
(When Andale's or Boudin's sells you an overpriced meal, I as an airline employee do not in fact see any of that profit in my paycheck.)
Airlines already do enough stupid things and make enough arbitrary decisions that we don't need to add this in order to prove that they do stupid or arbitrary things. This has been your pedantic moment for the day.

And all the men and women merely players

So OSF has posted their 2007 schedule, and I'm a member for next season so I'll get an earlier shot at tickets. Which I plan to use, because there's a host of shows I'd like to see. (Looks like another early October visit, due to availability of the shows I want to see combined with cheaper tickets.)

In the Bowmer Theater:
As You Like It
I'll probably pass. In the next couple of months I'll make an effort to read the script again and see if I change my mind.
Cherry Orchard by Chekov
Will have closed by October, to be replaced by
Tartuffe by Moliere
Which I am interested in seeing.
On the Razzle by Stoppard
It's Stoppard so I'm interested. It's Pygmalion, so there's lots of irony and running about.
Gem of the Ocean by Wilson
Not terribly interested.

In the New Theater:
Rabbit Hole by Lindsay-Abaire
Will have closed by October, to be replaced by
Distracted by Loomer
A play about ADD kids in an ADD world. I'm mildly interested. I hear it's funny.
Tracy's Tiger by Metropulos
A musical adaptation of the short novel. I can't find enough information to be interested.

On the Elizabethan Stage:
Tempest
Highly Interested. Never seen this one performed.
Taming of the Shrew
Low interest. Unless they look like they're doing something really interesting here, I'll probably pass.
Romeo and Juliet
Mild interest. It'll be a crowd favorite and likely a crowded favorite. If they do something interesting, I'll lean further toward getting a ticket.

In other news, I was able to take my applesauce through security at the airport. Apparently enough solid bits to satisfy TSA.
Hmm. No acting or Shakespeare icon.

Exactly when do you mean?

Aw hell. Friday snuck up on me. Most of you have already stopped reading LJ in order to start getting ready for the weekend, but anybody still stuck in the office is welcome to ask me a question.
