Tonight at 8 pm at the 45th Street Theatre in New York, NY, the Human Rights Foundation is sponsoring a staged reading of the late playwright/president's great free-expression satire The Memorandum. Proceeds go to the HRF, which Havel used to chair. Go the event's Facebook page for more details.

My report from Havel's funeral is here; I wrote an appreciation of his life back in 2003.

    Semi-related: I'm not sure if this has been shared. This Guardian article is disgusting. I know they're as liberal as they come, but talking about pissing on someone's grave...

    lasers and crazy names. Lace Asics running trainers, like prints, are widely used to make traditional clothes across Nigeria. Here, they found a new interpretation. Those Asics Gel Nimbus local models remain eager to take up the mantle from Wek's generation and other African models who have come after her.
