Review of Hello, Mr. Slickenmeyer?


Wow, Dan Collison and Elizabeth Mesiter have a phone number that is easily misdialed or confused with other numbers - or else they just have karma that attracts great stories, and then the ability to share those stories with the rest of us. This is funny, mysterious, and of course wonderfully produced. Are you doing a show that has anything to do with communication, or relationships, or technology, or language? You might find a way to squeeze this little gem into a show on a topic like that. great for a showcase show if you have one. The piece has a dated ending - referring to the new year 2006. So if you care about such things you might need to air it really soon. Or just listen and enjoy the smile it will bring to your life, and perhaps a new tenderness towards the wrong number callers who reach you (or at least a hope that they will leave a message next time).
