Tonight we attended the grand reopening of the Latchis main theater. Ken Burns came to show off an episode of his new series on the Roosevelt presidents.

As always with Burns’s films, there’s a lot of detail, indeed there are seemingly few details left out. He is equally thoughtful in the Q&A, affording me a chance to post this note during the answer to only a couple of questions.

On the plus side, however, I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard anybody use the word ‘hagiographic’ in real life…

And the theater? Looks great, especially the new lighting on the murals and statues, and the new seats are comfy! Now all we have to do is find the one seat that has our names on a little brass plaque.
