FG, you may be interested to learn Linda Lawless (Xena, Warrior Princess), is appearing in The Vagina Monologues here in New Zealand. Were there any guys in the audience at the performance you went to? No, I haven't been myself 
English people: The main sports (cricket) headline in my Sunday paper reads - Adams aces ailing Poms. We are talking 120-point type. At least you whipped Ireland in the rugby.
Welsh people: Talking about rugby, I bet Wales wished they had a winger like Jonah Lomu. He would have got a try (touchdown in America) in that last-minute move in the game against France.
Scots people: Finally, a win (against Italy)  The bars in Edinburgh and Glasgow will be rocking.

| | I do believe Linda's main source of joy was her throat, however.
There were quite a number of fellows in the audience. I was pleasantly surprised. I expected the usual chubby lesbians (no offense meant, that's what they call themselves here) and college girls looking to radicalize their worldview, but the audience was quite diverse.
The play was more than just a few set political pieces. It was rather funny (for those of you that don't know it lampoons women's lack of knowledge about their anatomy while strongly promoting efforts to stop violence against women worldwide). I'll never think of the words "coochi snorcher" in the same way again.

| | OP, the Americans have a landscape tradition with a twist; in the late 18th/early 19th century (which is about the extent of an American tradition), artists were sent westward along with the surveyers and mappers to "take pictures" of the land. You have quite a treat in store, and I wish I could see some of those paintings myself. There will probably be some more modern stuff too, like Hopper and Wyeth and Hurd.
Meanwhile, I've been studying Impressionism and its context. Something really enjoyable, available in the US from Dover press, is Antoine Vollard's book of his conversations with Renoir, originally published in 1925. "There is no stupidity big enough to stop painting," said the master...

| | Just off to bed, but thought I would let you all know that we thoroughly enjoyed 'Stomp', hadn't realised it was so funny and that it was possible to create a rhythym out of a kitchen sink!
It's years since I've been to Tate Britain, it was just called the Tate then, it was short walk from the hospital I trained at, which is due to become a luxury (you have to say that with a Yorkshire accent) hotel, having moved to a spangly gorgeous building a few years ago now.
Just in the process of moving into a new handbag, I was looking at the label attached to it, it was made in Annapolis, *waves across the herring pond*.
