Love that xikers is putting on a SHOW. despite a small venue they’re still going all in with the production and it makes things feel grand. In comparison, I’ve seen so many K-pop acts do arena tours and skip the creative elements that make a good show a truly great one.

Has anyone read a good business-y explainer about why Dunkin is the only American fast food chain that has successfully opened kosher branches with alternative menus, targeting major communities? Subway tried but it didn’t work well, and coffee bean was in LA for many years but isn’t now.

World is a mess but Pirates! The penzance musical is a joy, especially the first act. I could watch David Hyde Pierce perform the Modern Major General song all day.
