Hi, all. I joined this community to ask Jon Stewart fans why one should like him. For some time, I've been a fan of Colbert and Conan, so it always confuses me why I don't like Jon Stewart. After all, all three seem to be chummy with each other. I've tried to watch a few sporadic episodes, only once making it through to the end. I've only seen one interview with a guest. Though it was enjoyable, it left me confused. Something about him grates on my nerves. Colbert sometimes does, too, but not enough for me to not watch his show. Please help! I hope big fans of his would be excellent at explaining Stewart's apparent greatness. If I don't become a fan of Stewart's, at least I'll know how he differs from my current comedic heroes. As far as I know, it seems like he shouts most of the time and he uses too many poorly doctored pictures. Your critiques are much appreciated! resonance:  contemplative

So the work for The Frogs is done. And i mean really done. The Final Countdown took all of friday night, all day saturday and nearly all day sunday. That afternoon soundhive discovered that the frog costumes alone would not even fit into two of our cars. Luckily, the CityCarShare pod at the BART station next to us just turned up a Honda Element. Somehow she managed to fit the entire collection of props and puppets into the van, and by 3:30 we were off. We just managed to make it to the theater site by 5pm. Down at the theater stage we met the rest of the crew, which had been working their tails off to get the stage built and painted... we barely got volunteers to help us haul down the props, everybody was so exhausted! In all we made: Five 8ft ionic columns, five paper-mache ionic capitals, four doric column chairs, one column-table, three pairs of fury gloves, a staff for dionysus, a staff for hades, a gigantic underworld balancing scale, seven giant frog costumes, a cerberus puppet costume, eight bamboo noisemakers. Oh and some plaster masks. The last thing that needed creating was some cardboard spats for the bottom of the columns, and soundhive made those yesterday in between hanging out with polyomino. She also swept the garage clean, clearing out the massive piles of redwood bark i had hoarded this month. It was a huge amount of work, and i certainly learned a lot of things that we want to avoid for bman: late nights, crazy pushes, and frantic constructing. But overall it was a ton of fun, and i really love making projekts with that theatre crew, and making things with my glue-gun-wielding and bamboo-crafting partner. Before loading everything on, L took reference pics of each prop and costume. We'll certainly be posting the works soon, but we'd also love for you to see it in person! Sunday and monday nights were wonderful, hanging out with a visiting polyomino and getting back some sleep. We'll be attending the Fire Arts Festival this thursday, but otherwise sleeping, and getting ready to jump onto the next lily pad.... horg.
