1. Somewhere in between
I am really sad that I waited ten years to see it, then moved out of NYC just in time to miss it.

FUCK!

It looked BEAUTIFUL in the pictures!

7. Maybe not once a week ...

But certainly every now and again. I thought they were great fun, people had great fun playing around the standards -- a million silly games. I don't understand why they got some people so upset.

Although from a certain distance, they did remind me of laundry day at the Ashram. ;)

I think anything that doesn't hurt you and nudges your mind out of its day-to-day torpor is probably a good thing.

I tried two different soundtracks: Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper. Each was unique; both were fine.

Edited to correct typos.

8. I remember it as a missed opportunity
I live half and hour north of NYC and I was dumb enough not to even go to see it.

9. I remember because I was taking Art History last spring...
that's probably the only reason I would have been aware of them.
