World Stage, Local Pride in the Pacific Northwest
First published in the New York Times, April 23, 2007. SEATTLE, April 21 — “It’s great to be home,” Trisha Brown said at the start of a pre-performance talk. Ms. Brown has been a leading light of New York postmodern dance since the 1960s, but the “home” she meant was Washington State, where she grew up.

The Mariners are down, worse than they’ve been all season. But for the Mariners—the scrappy team in the forgotten upper left corner of the map of baseball, the team that’s been a punching bag and a running joke for the rest of the league for the majority of its existence, the team that’s served as the crucible for the baseball historians and scribes interested in the weird and bad and goofy, the Seattle Literal Mariners—this might be just where they want to be. To borrow from Denis Johnson’s Jesus’ Son: “No more pretending for him! He was completely and openly a mess. Meanwhile the rest of us go on trying to fool each other.”
