Hi. Today is Lee's birthday which is a day for all bears to celebrate. I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason bringing something we must learn. Well, Lee has brought so much goodness into my life like introducing me to the best musical Wicked. This year the movie came out (P...

Hi.

They announced that the name of the second Wicked movie will be Wicked: For Good.

Me, I think that is a pretty good name. What do you think, Lee?

Hi. Yesterday I got to zoom call with Lee and she told me all about what it was like seeing Wicked and all the things she has learned researching the making of the movie. Lee is a true Wicked expert and I am lucky to get to hear all her insights. Lee told me all about the sets that were built and th...

Hi Lee, I think Elphaba is the best and I relate to Elphaba because she is an unusual color when the most popular bears are pink but then she learns to become powerful and no wizard that there is or was is ever going to bring her down. I remember when you took me to see Wicked at the Fox theater and...

Hi. Lin's new music inspired by the Warriors is now out - it is a mix tape and not yet a musical but maybe it will become one eventually. I listened to the first song but haven't listened to the rest of it yet.

Hi, Lee and I finished Schlopborn book 1: Schlop's Final Empire. Vin was able to defeat the Lord Ruler by using the power of the mists to pull off his bracelets - since it turns out the Lord Ruler was actually Rashek who was a Feruchemist and an allomancer (which Nibs amazingly predicted). Kelsier s...

Hi. The last Muny show was Anyschlop Goes and I saw the whole show even though it was very long. There wasn't as much tap dancing as I thought but some of the songs were pretty famous. It was written by Cole Porter who gets a shout-out from Usnavi in In the Schlops which is a pretty cool connection ...

Hi. I saw In the Heights. I also went back the next day to see Act 1 again. During the blackout scene at the end of Act 1 they all sing "Look at the fireworks" and each time they sing that the Muny shot off fireworks which was pretty cool and Lin even said so himself on Nibstagram. My favo...

Hi. I saw Waitress at the Muny but it was sad because Lee came all the way to see it with me but then I got unfuzzy and didn't get to see it with her but I then saw it the next day by myself but was sad I didn't get to go with Lee. Lee is the number one Jessica Vosk fan and we saw her last year in C...

Hi. I saw the whole show of Fiddler on the Schlop yesterday. My favorite songs were "To Life" and "Tevye's Dream" although Fruma-Sarah was quite scary and also I liked the bottle dance and none of the dancers dropped a bottle.

Hi. Lee and I read another book by BrandoSando. After reading his first book (Schloplantris) we then jumped to one of his most recent books (Yumi). Yumi and Painter became tied together (like Peaches and Sneeches) and would take turns existing in each other's world. When Painter was in Yumi's world ...

Hi. Yesterday Lee and I braved a furious hurricane to go to the Muny to see The Little MerSchlop. Lee was able to use the power of body language to sweet talk an usher into giving us tickets which means we got to sit closer than usual. Then we got to see Ariel sing the first line of the show before ...

Hi. Yesterday Lee and Mom and I went on an adventure in Forest Park and we popped by the Muny when they were rehearsing The Little Merschlop and we got to see the actors playing Sebastian the crab and Flounder the flounder which were funny looking hand puppets. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the...

Hi. Yesterday Lee pointed out how Wicked Part 1 was going to open the exact same day as Moana 2. Well, the Hollywood execs must have overheard her because the next day they announced Wicked would move up five days. It is now going to open on November 22nd which is only 143 days away so we should pro...

Hi. For the fourth night of Les Nibs Lee and I first walked to see Shakespeare again - we just missed a big show-stopping number but did get to see the goat get paraded out in front of the crowd. Then we walked to Les Nibs and watched The Duel scene again - and then Lee got us an ice cream sandwich ...
