Arcade Fire appear to be moving ahead with their ‘WE’ tour – despite frontman Win Butler facing allegations of sexual misconduct (all of which he has denied) – and began the UK leg in Dublin last night (August 30).

It took years to work out a suitable ‘label’ for the kind of relationship that I have with my housemate / best mate / co-living co-habitee / wingman… occasional fuck buddy / flashy bait to lure in hot guys that are way out of my league! The point is that, since we started hanging out and clarify to people / friends / family / acquaintances that we aren’t partners / boyfriends / husbands / romantically involved, we realise that NOT having a label seemed to totally flummox people because humans obviously  have an insatiable need to place fellow humans in neat little boxes – all labelled clearly for public consumption. Every single person, to my face at least, once they hear about the specifics of our situation applaud the enviable position that we find ourselves in.This is mainly because as we have managed to skip over the romanticism ‘trap’ that so many fall into. We’ve been able to craft something seemingly unique for our situation.

Frank Rizzo Get thee to Arden — or at least to the Arden depicted in the glorious, delightful and big-hearted musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “As You Like It,” created as part of the Public Theater’s Public Works program and now playing at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. (The run ends Sept. 11, but here’s hoping it will find future life.) This Arden, as envisioned in Shaina Taub and Laurie Woolery’s just-the-essentials, 95-minute adaptation, is a place of refuge, generosity, joy, growth and forgiveness — but most of all, of transformational love. After all, it ends with a quadruple wedding ceremony. It’s also a well-populated place, featuring two alternating casts of 80. The diverse, all-ages ensemble comes from all five of New York City’s boroughs and even includes athletes from the Bronx Wrestling Federation, an inspired addition to the Bard’s grappling scene.
