It's real easy to take this whole thing too seriously. I take art too seriously a lot. But Alan Bern gave us a night of unpretentious surprises that were just fun to see. Lucinda danced about in a silver leotard all over the store and someone interrupted the performance looking for a Lonely Planet on East Asia, and there was a haunting Spanish whisper piece that blew my friend Casey away. So much going on!
The whole thing was very Berkeley, and that's cool. I think that the performance as a whole had something for everyone. You couldn't hate or love the whole thing, but there were parts that I really dug. Actually, it was probably one of the better readings I've been to lately.
