 Outside the Beltway 

Mistaken Identity

This report notwithstanding,

Narrative ambiguity also hurts the evening’s opening work, “Mediate,” set to the music of INXS. About two-thirds of the way through, all six dancers undress to their underwear for reasons that are not clear. The piece ends oddly with a duet between Elizabeth Towles and James Joyner, their underwear hardly flattering their movement.

Rest assured that I was not in Denver last night dancing in my underwear to INXS tunes.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

Yeah, right. I plugged 'James Joyner' into google, and you were the only one that popped up on the first two pages of hits. Denver ain't that far from Alexandria these days. (And this is a pretty unkind cut: "their underwear hardly flattering their movement" -- I'd deny, too.)

And here I was thinking that you'd decided to launch OTB Vlog with a bang!
