In case you thought we at New Roots are the only folks in town who get extremely excited about independent theatre, proof to the contrary has arrived in the form of Show Showdown, an entertaining and insightful blog co-written by Aaron Riccio, Patrick Lee, and David Bell.  The "Showdown" refers to a contest the three are holding amongst each other to determine which of them can see and write about the most productions in 2008.  The current standings, as of May 25th:

RICCIO: 111.5

LEE: 86

BELL: 42

I'm not sure what constitutes half a show by Aaron's calculations, but I am sure you'll enjoy their prolific coverage of the scene.
