Went to NY yesterday, knocked around midtown with doozer4200 and kromagg, and saw Avenue Q. Lots of fun.

The show pretty much rocked throughout; I had already heard and enjoyed the soundtrack, but I wasn't prepared for how good their live presentation is. The puppeteers in particular are extremely expressive, and the use of subversive Sesame Street style animated sequences is very effective. In general the bits that from hearing the songs I was not especially fond of were strong visual pieces, so I didn't really think there were any weak moments.

Saw V for Vendetta. Have some generally minor philosophical differences with their interpretation, but I think they did quite a good job. Certainly better than any previous Moore adaptation, though that is weaker praise than I intend.
