Going...Going...Gwon: November 2006
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Thursday, November 30. Ho, Ho.hum. Whether it's 70-degrees in New York City or not, the holidays are upon us. Here's how I know: those damned windows at Macy's are back. This year, however, one of my gigs (oh, the life of a freelancer! Has brought me to the Herald Square subway station, which is right by the Macy's windows, with some regularity. And a week or so ago, I came up from underground at 34th Street and was confronted- nay, accosted. The kicker, my fr...

Going...Going...Gwon: February 2007
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Wednesday, February 28. The real world is in decline. While this statement is true in many ways, I am referring specifically to MTV's classic reality show "The Real World.". I was at the gym this afternoon, and they have little TV screens at every cardio machine that you can plug your headphones into if you care to watch. I was listening to my new iPod. This might age me a bit (even though I' m not old), but remember when The Real World was cool? Busy as a bee.

Going...Going...Gwon: October 2006
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Sunday, October 29. Henrik Ibsen is alive and well and living in Brooklyn. A panel of Ibsen scholars? You might say with a slight sneer and forboding images of boredom in your head. I'll just say that watching polite-on-the-surface squabbles between artists and academians on the best way to present Ibsen to the world is as engrossing as any scene from an Oscar Wilde play. Posted by Adam at 10:02 AM. Thursday, October 26. Theater people are people too. I always...

Going...Going...Gwon: December 2006
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Thursday, December 28. Today's forecast: Partly punny with a chance of rain. A group of geese is called a gaggle; a group of lions is called a pride. A group of nuns is called an order. That's my imitation of a drumset, get it? Posted by Adam at 3:17 PM. Tuesday, December 26. Mr and Mrs. Gwon's Home for Wayward Singles. Now, typically, I am content to spend my time in Baltimore doing absolutely nothing. And by that, I mean eating 'round-the-clock and watch...

Going...Going...Gwon: May 2007
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Tuesday, May 15. Workshopping musicals, dodging tornadoes. I'm back in New York after spending some time in Oklahoma workshopping a musical of mine. It was a great trip, for both theatery and non-theatery reasons. First, the theatery reasons, for all you theatery people. (The theater weenies, as Dan Trujillo likes to call us! Jeanine Tesori and Neil Bartram. The whole experience of working on a show in this environment was really eye-opening to me. Of cour...

Going...Going...Gwon: January 2007
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Wednesday, January 31. I should start by saying that, for the past few months, I've been plagued with the impossible dream of so many New York twentysomethings: home ownership. I was bitten by the bug after seeing the apartment that Liz almost bought. A tsetse fly of a 2-bedroom condo in South Slope, Brooklyn. While it was certainly out of my price range, the asking price wasn't shocking. ANYWAY, this is all exposition for the point of my story. Lord, please s...

Going...Going...Gwon: April 2007
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Thursday, April 26. Showtunes bustin' out all over. Okay, I don't watch American Idol.which means there are good chunks of time at parties and over dinners where I have nothing to contribute to the conversation. I don't watch a huge amount of TV, and tend to steer clear of those shows that seems to require multiple-hour commitments several days a week. (Okay, and also, I'm a snob about singing, so American Idol usually makes my skin crawl.). Thursday, April 19.

Going...Going...Gwon: July 2007
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Tuesday, July 17. Spin me some theater. 1 You gotta grab me. If I'm not into it after the first ten minutes, I'm gonna zone out to some degree. And after that, it's hard to win me back. Plays change my mind more than spinning instructors, though. You can basically tell from the second the instructor walks into the room if he/she is going to be a dud. 2 Rhythm is everything. That doesn't match the beat of the music they are playing. Where do they come from?

Going...Going...Gwon: March 2007
http://adamgwon.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
I'm Adam Gwon. I write musicals. Now I blog. Friday, March 23. Snip, snip, snip. Let it be known: I don't like Matthew Bourne. His work, rather, is what I don't like, seeing as how I don't know the man whatsoever. My distaste for The Bourne has some history. When I was a senior in college, I spent a semester soaking up the arts in London, and went with a dancer friend of mine to see Mr. Bourne's new piece The Car Man. So my friend and I travel to the Old Vic (or was it the Young Vic? He's the Car Man.
