[UA] Part of the NYC urban vibe?

[John Tynes]

Mike Daisey contributed material to Postmodern Magick for UA and maybe to
another book as well -- I forget which. He is a very talented guy and anyone in
the NYC area should definitely check out his new Tesla show.

> Jean-Michele and I are ecstatic over this new show: to be premiering in NYC
> in a monologue that includes THE LARGEST TESLA COIL ON THE ISLAND OF
> MANHATTAN--well, there are few things better than that in my book.
>
> We're talking about a Class IV Tesla Coil, which generates arcs of ionizing
> electricity over ten feet in length. As our producer told me yesterday,
> "Mike, if you have any metal in your body, anywhere, you'd better know
> before we turn this thing on."

> For pictures of the coil in all its glory, shots of Tesla's last laboratory
> and other assorted mischief, check out http://mikedaisey.com where you'll
> find it all laid out. But to actually *see* the coil with its ten-foot arcs
> of wild ionizing power, and to see if I survive--to see that, you need to
> come to Monopoly!
>
> We're thrilled to be playing in rep with BOOZY!, and to be produced by Les
> Freres Corbusier. A fantastic preview piece on BOOZY! at the New York Times
> via this link: http://tinyurl.com/4ukkj and the full skinny on BOOZY!,

> YOU CAN'T PLAY THE GAME IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULES
>
> In his latest monologue, Mike Daisey illuminates the warped genius of Nikola
> Tesla and his war with Edison over electricity, a battle etched into the
> streets of New York City. Threads loop and whorl around Microsoft's historic
> antitrust lawsuit, the checkered history of the game Monopoly, and
> ultimately the story of Daisey's own hometown and its one remaining
> retailer: Wal-Mart.
>
> THE RULEBOOK WILL NEVER BE PUBLISHED
>
> Subversive and hilarious, Monopoly! brings to life the questions we confront
> in our benevolent era of corporate rule, and the struggles each of us faces
> in a system that recognizes only profit and loss.
>
> DO NOT PASS GO
