In the LA Times, of course. May be painful reading for the die hard Barney fans in the house (myself included). It’s worth noting that spectators were injured, which gave me a warm SRL-ish feeling in my black heart.

i read his interview. and hes an idiot. i took place in this play, as one of the drumline members, so naturally i saw everything that could be seen, and it was so much more than the simple, and lame summary that Chris managed to type up on the drive home. and for the record, cocroaches, beetles and crickets were released in quantaty in the last scene
Was this done as a video piece, or as a performance? In other words, will the public be seeing it in something resembling its entirety in the future?
It seems he missed a lot of the fun of the experience – maybe he got too hot to enjoy it waiting? It was a very impressive show – and the drummers were particularly good. We were watching from the corner where the pane of glass broke and the injuries I saw were trivial, a few minor cuts, but quite a surprise for the people leaning on the glass panel, already on edge as fragments of Imperial slammed into the bullet-proof glass.
It was thoroughly recorded.
