Endnotes & Digressions:

1. The pictures were drawn in a spiral-bound sketchbook with a Sharpie during the show. I then photographed each drawing with my camera-phone and posted links to the photos in my Twitter feed during intermissions on "Blogger Night." The comic you see here is assembled from those drawings and (more or less) from the Twitter posts that accompanied the links. 

2. If you'd like to print out your own Chick-tract-sized booklet of this comic, click here.

3. Here's the Portland Opera's official press release on "Blogger Night @ The Opera" (and here are their photos of the evening). "Rigoletto" continues May 14 and 16, 2009; you can find all the show info (and a study guide) right here.
