Series of Tubes: Candid Papelbon, Trouble at the Theater

--Maggie's got a great Halloween costume idea. Yes, it involves monkeys and Boston, but it is so cool you must read it to believe it. Hint: "Rock me, Joe!"

--Chris Klein, the HubTrotter, scored some sweet photos of the Red Sox players showing up at Fenway before Game 2. Papelbon's got a powerful head of hair.

--H2oTown posts a photo of a leaf-peeping Barbie. We're not sure if she's on sale yet, but we hope she comes with a rake and not a leaf-blower.

--Joel Brown at HubArts posts a letter from Zeitgeist Stage Director David J. Miller about how, despite good reviews, no one is attending performances of The Kentucky Cycle at the Black Box Theater. Bostonist's critic loved the actors but thought the play was flawed. That's no reason not to check out the actors for yourself so you can say you saw them before they achieved Broadway greatness. In the face of the closing of Jimmy Tingle's, this is depressing news indeed.

--Calamity J. Cowgirl Revolution over at LiveJournal is annoyed with the Weekly Dig online. If CJCR doesn't like it now, she should have seen it before the overhaul!
