Saw an incredible one woman show by Kathleen Gonzales tonight. Kathleen is from Haiti, and plays many characters in her story about returning to her homeland. It's a really powerful and compelling story. Do check her out.

Who cares about HT? They charge Whole Food prices without the quality. The sheen wears off in three months.

Hmmmm, there's a young "prodigies", or something like that, chamber orchestra today at 4:30. For $5, that sounds like a good value.

As for HT, it's good to have around when you need to move quickly. It's like Target vs. WalMart. Target's more expensive and so lines are shorter and it's less chaotic. It's nice to have that option when you just can't deal with the local Safeway and so are willing to pay the premium.

I agree with Rob. I'd rather pay more at HT than go to the ghetto Giant or Safeway.

HT also has much faster check-out clerks, and actually staffs more than one person at the deli and other counters so you aren't waiting for 20 minutes. The quality of the fish and meat are way above what you get at Giant, and the prices aren't that bad if you have the HT card.

The promo code doesn't work for the Bridge of Bodies show, and no one is answering the phone at the Atlas.

Anon 6:09. I'm so sorry about that. I'm just seeing this now. I'm not sure what went wrong but I will find out.

!f you didn't get through or get a ticket please let me know offline. We can get you in this weekend or next at that discount...She added show to the final weekend.

Soul Searcher is disruptive and disrespectful.
This is a thread about a terrific arts festival at the Atlas. If he wants to start a discussion about Harris-Teeter or whatever pops into his head, he should start his own blog. It's more work than he thinks.

In the meantime, his stupid intrusions are the obnoxious equivalent of those jerks who walk up to a group having a conversation and interrupt. Why do they always think that they are so damned important or interesting?

Soul Searcher is rude.

Easy. An off topic post isn't going to kill anybody. Besides, the Harris Teeter is definitely in the right geographic region.
