Things are better cut in half. At least they’re exponentially more fascinating to look at. This subreddit proves as much.

Likewise, time spent looking for ways to spend your evening is also better when cut in half. Hell, the following list might even save you more time than that. — Cory Graves

Boris at Trees
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its monstrous landmark album, Pink, Japanese three-piece Boris is setting out on a massive North American tour, where it’ll perform the record in its entirety.

Shakespeare in the Bar Presents: Romeo and Juliet at The Wild Detectives
Of late, troupes of drunken actors with clever names like ShakesBEER and Shotspeare have been staging informal productions of the bard’s work in watering holes all over the country.

School of Rock All-Stars at Dada
Everything is better when it is smaller. Shrinkey-dinks, bite-sized Snickers and Whippets are three things that immediately come to mind. Same goes for the miniature rockers at from the School of Rock, who flawlessly execute songs released 30 years before they were born. — CG
