Close Drawer

Some have suggested that I have been overly harsh on Cavalia today, esp. considering that I haven’t technically “seen” it. Thus, in the interest of presenting a fair and balanced perspective, I close out Cavalia Day with this: a sign, in Berlin, in which Larry King says it is the best show he has ever seen. This raises so many questions (Do German people know who Larry King is? Wasn’t a German celebrity available to deliver a blurb? Or even David Hasselhoff? Did Larry King actually say this in German, or is it translated?), but Cavalia Day is over, and I am weary. (via)
