As delegates pour into Denver for the Democratic National Convention, a local theater company is bravely sticking its neck out for the city’s political junkie guests. This first edition of Scholars and Rogues News, our assault on Web TV, explores the Bovine Metropolis Theater’s talents, motivations, and deep emotional illnesses.

Are you (ihopeihope) planning on posting those Bovine during-the-convention performances? If not, how in FSM’s name can you justify calling yourselves Scholars, or even Rogues, for that matter? We can’t all get to Denver, y’know…..
I’m afraid I’m going to be so damn busy shooting everything else that Bovine is going to take a back seat. I had intended to shoot next Wednesday, hoping some drunken conventioneers would be there, but had to open that day up just in case something much bigger and nicer comes through.
Glad you liked Bovine, though. They’re good people.
Kudos to you and your excellent reporting. I find little time for entertainment myself, but I found your coverage of those plucky improvisational actors compelling. Perhaps I might go see them sometime, but I tend to doubt it. Crowds make me uncomfortable.
Albert:
This is a nice crowd and, despite the TIC thing about lines snaking for 10 city blocks, it’s actually a very smalll and intimate venue in a walk-up theater space. If you can bring yourself to go see it, I think you might enjoy yourself.
Oh, and thanks for the kudos. Greatly appreciated.
That was great. I hope you flip on the cameras after the S&R kids have had a beer or three at Lime during the DNC.
Just don’t try to get Dr. Slammy to tell that Scotsman wrestling joke. Funny as hell, but every time I hear it, it gets longer and longer. 
Albert: How’s the campaign going?
Wouldn’t you like to know, Mr. so-called “Russ Wellen”? How do I know you aren’t some tool of the powerful oil lobby? Or the even more powerful rich people lobby? Or the very, very, extremely powerful lobbyist lobby? According to my sources, Russ Wellen “usually writes about nuclear deproliferation, civilian casualties from armed conflict and the enduring enigma that is the American mind.” Clearly, none of these apply here.
“Russ Wellen” is also a well-known pseudonym used by a very powerful member of the Trilateral Commission.
My fears were well founded then. Thank you, sir. The Trilateral Commission (for those of you not familiar with them, an organization bent on world domination resulting from a secret union between the Illuminati, the Knights Templar and “Up With People”) has been attempting to undermine my work for years. Kudos to you despite my disbelief that you are, in fact, a real doctor.
