Ladies and Gentlemen...

[vardathemessage]

boys and girls - and whomever else may be reading this evening...

Starting May 18th, 2004

The Lyceum Theatre and Bijou Music, in collaboration with Obsessive Compulsive Productions is proud to present daily shards of glimmer by Our Own Reporter that should interest the hard core Velvet Goldmine fan as well as answer a few questions for the novice.

The entries will follow the chronology of the film with occasional diversions. Necessity makes listing what seems like the obvious to some but everyone has to start somewhere, darling.

The film is rated R and some content here might occasionally be as well. This isn't for you if you are offended by the world of bisexuality, drugs and glam rock. Actually, if you find that literary allusions, quotes, cynical evidence, pointed epigrams and startling paradox are not your cup of tea, you won't like the whole shebang either. Some days they'll tickle your fancy, some days they'll leave you cold, that's just the way trivia is.

Please feel free to comment and discuss but please do not send me your trivia, I've got scads, simply scads, thanks.

Fantastic. I think that's everything.

I can't wait to get started either! I've bitten my nails to the quick just like Johnny! But we'll be premiering on May 18th because it's the 5th anniversary of the film's debut on VHS/DVD.
