Not until I saw the latest GoT trailer did I know:
"Aidan Gillen, a fan favorite from early on, has been cast in the role of Lord Petyr Baelish, more popularly known as Littlefinger. A scheming, immoral social-climbing conniver, Baelish is a pivotal character in the series, one that viewers are sure to love to hate."
Aidan Gillen played Tommy Carcetti in The Wire:
" ... an ambitious Baltimore politician who rises from a seat on the city council to the office of the Mayor of Baltimore, and to the office of the Governor of Maryland by the end of the series."
Additionally there is season two of David Simon's HBO's Treme this spring, and Showtime's The Borgias, starring ... Jeremy Irons.
There will be television worth watching -- at least on dvd or something, sometime, for me, since I don't have a television. Which, considering this American Slave Coast we're writing, is just as well.

Have you heard the musical based on Dan Baum's Nine Lives? Paul Sanchez wrote the lyrics, and Wendell Pierce has a singing part! The "cast" is pretty much NOLA musical royalty, and it was recorded in Piety St. It hasn't been stage, but it sounds like they have ambitions to do that. It's pretty good, too.
No, we've been embedded in a different world these last months. Will get back up to NO speed next month when there to do some bookstore and cultural org readings and college-university presentations.

Correction: Ned says he knew about it. He's in NYC for the weekend, doing work on our apartment.
Love, c.
