"Yeah, that's called living in Boston. You're gonna want to get used to that, it's going to come up a lot."

Yeah, the cute girl singing the anthem? that was fake, too.

It's not so much the lipsynching that's a big deal, it's the idea that the girl who actually sang it was not cute enough. And China does not have a problem with this, publicly stating

We went to the Mt Pleasant show and it was AWFUL. It lasted 45 minutes. They only had one person working the merchandise stand and No special effects at all. By the time that we goit to the front of the merchandise stand I paid 6 dollars for a flag that they had run out of sticks for. Even my 4 year old said he did not have fun….

Just got back from taking the kids to their first Shakespeare show. At 6, 4 and 2, that's not too bad. I'm not sure how much they understood – unlike a video that they can play over and over again, if you miss something in live theatre, it's gone. You can't rewind or watch it again.

Details up at the Shakespeare site

Explained over the weekend, by the 6yr old:

"Daddy? You know how on tv sometimes, something will happen, and then the people will repeat it? I think I have that. I think that's why I like to talk so much."

It dawns on me that she must be referring to the "summing up" that occurs in the last 5 minutes of so many shows these days.
