As of 8 this morning the starting points for this year's Idiotarod had already been changed twice.

EVENT: The American Opera Project has taken on...baseball? Tonight they present Baseball Through The Eye of the Artist. You'll catch some scenes from Daniel Sonenberg's opera-under-development The Summer King.

Did you realize that DiModica and his friends had brought the 7000 pound bull to the NY Stock Exchange in the middle of the night, and the NYPD reprimanded the bull and DiModica for obstructing traffic without a permit? According to a story on Forgotten Delights, the NYSE tried to remove it, but everyone was upset so the Parks Department arranged for it to stay as a "temporary" installation. DiModica tried to sell it in 1993 for $300,000, but no one bit. DiModica told the Daily News that he will still make his "weekly late-night visits to the bull": "It's my strength. It's my life." Whenever Gothamist visits the bull, we giggle about how it's anatomically correct.
