Through A Glass, Darkly premiered on PBS in Minnesota last Saturday night, while Go-Go Beach simultaneously turned 100 (performances…ever) the same night.

And if you missed it in Minneapolis, Through A Glass, Darkly DVDs are on-sale. Order now from the TCGMC website. The video is *amazing* with the concert portion bookended by incredibly moving and personal interviews with some of the cast and artistic team. Get your copy today!
Twin Cities Public Television will be airing the premiere broadcast of Mike's theatrical-concert about meth addiction — "Through A Glass, Darkly". Hey Minnesotans: set your TiVos for TPT-17 on Saturday, June 21 from 8-9pm central. For the rest of us out-of-towners, we will find out if TPT streams online, and we'll post ordering info when DVDs go on-sale.
The TPT program guide lists it as "Twin Cities Gay Men's Chorus: Reflections on Meth Addiction". We only had 50-some characters to work with, and the "Darkly" title alone was felt to be too non-descript — but the title has not changed, TPT just listed it differently for the program guide.
The program consists of the live concert as taped in March, plus maybe some special features and interviews with Mike.
Mike and I are traveling to Minneapolis next week for a couple of advance screenings, then off to Cincinnati to attend the 100th-ever performance of Go-Go Beach.
How can AT&T — with its 5 year exclusive on the iPhone — have a website that does not work with iPhone's Safari?
Seriously.
I had called AT&T for something else and they mentioned my balance, which was $100+ more than usual. We were on the road, so I was going to check our usage on Mike's iPhone. Except I couldn't log in!
You attempt to login, it redirects somewhere, then kicks you back to the login screen.
Calling *MIN# is the official way to check your minutes. Nice, AT&T: You can't just have low-balance email alerts like all my bank accounts do? Of course, why invest in that when you're making an extra $100 off our ignorance. I wish Apple were its own virtual network already.
Minnesota's giant newspaper, the StarTribune, is running a feature about this weekend's upcoming premiere of "Through A Glass, Darkly". (If they ask you to pay, just delete your .startribune.com cookies…shhh!)
Someone else ran an article titled something like "A Meth Mess", which sounds like a review (it's not - they meant meth addiction is messy). But I couldn't find the link.
And, chorus member Vincent Doyle's interview with Mike about the background of "Darkly".
