Where I'd like to be this coming Saturday night
Mike Daisey's solo show, "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," caused enormous controversy this past spring for a number of reasons, which you can read about elsewhere.
Suffice it to say that Daisey is currently performing an encore run of his show in Washington D.C. at the Woolly Mammoth Theater, where it was first presented in 2010.
From Charles Isherwood's July 26 New York Times review: "New to the show is Mr. Daisey's description of a meeting with Apple's co-founder, Steve Wozniak, who Mr. Daisey lampoons as an 'autistic bear' guzzling Mountain Dew as he works. Far from taking offense at either these descriptions or Mr. Daisey's admitted fabrications, Mr. Wozniak was moved and disturbed by the revelations in the show, expressing a sort of sorrowful awe at how the company he helped create has evolved. Can we trust this description? It's encouraging that Mr. Wozniak will be joining Mr. Daisey for a conversation after a performance of the show on August 4 [Saturday]."
In my humble opinion $100 is cheap at twice the price, just for the opportunity to breathe the same air as Woz.
But that's just me.
I hope someone in the audience records it and puts it up on YouTube; if that happens, I'll bring you the video as soon as it appears.
Someone remind me next week to check, OK?
