Volume I, Issue 53
June 8 - June 15, 1998
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
t's summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime. For some that
means staying indoors, where it's air-conditioned, or maybe going
out for a swim. For others that means more substantial adventure.
If you fall into the latter camp, you may want to read one of
the region-based advice columns in this week's arts section. Over
here we've got an all-purpose guide to taking care of yourself
in desert climes. Over there we've got an invaluable rundown of
facts about poison ivy, which can turn your most optimistic hiking
hopes into itchy nightmares. So what are you waiting for? Read
through Weekly Wire's arts section, then get out there
and explore.
We've also got reviews of several interesting new plays, a question-and-answer
session about flamenco dancing, and -- my favorite -- a look at
some site-specific artwork that juxtaposes the flexible human
form against the blue expanse above. Since when must performance
art be restricted to stages and halls, anyway? As far as these
artists are concerened, the sky's the limit.
