It's way too &*%$#@ hot here in NC. But, it is not the first time that I have been unable to sleep due to misreable conditions. Though now that it is September, I was hoping some relief was in sight. One really has to envy anyone who lives in a place like Belfast, Maine, this time of year.
But, the bout with insomnia gives me an opportunity to promote mando filmmaker John Waters' one-man show at the Carolina Theatre in downtown Greensboro on Sept. 22 at 8:00 p.m.
The Carolina Theatre's web site says the show will be about how Waters came into becoming a filmmaker and why he chose the trash cinema genre. One can also expect that he will talk about his frequent 'leading man,' the late actor Divine as well as his hometown of Baltimore.
The venue is located at 310 South Green Street. Phone #: 336-333-2605.
I actually briefly met Waters at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
My personal favorite film of his is the 'smell-o-rama' 1981 classic "Polyster," though it has its faults. Waters is currently riding the waves of success following the musical film "Hairspray," with John Travolta, which was an adaptation of a Broadway musical based on his original film of the same name. I actually prefer the new "Hairspray" over the original, and apparently many other folks did as well!
