See you at the IRNEs

Sorry for no post today, but preparations are underway for the annual IRNE Awards, tonight at 7:30 pm at the Cyclorama, in which the Independent Reviewers of New England honor their choices for the best of 2011 in just about every category you can imagine (new this year - puppetry!).

And yes, I'll be there - it's a long story, someday I'll tell you the whole thing - with a new surprise up my sleeve, too: the first "Hubbie Award" with a cash value. But I'll tell you all about that - and who's getting the check - after the ceremony.

Yes, I know - critics with money.  What a concept.  So stay tuned.
