From Dublin SPCA:

Our very very handsome king of the farmyard animals, Elvis the goat (above) has died. Elvis came to the Dubiln SPCA in 2006 where we loved him tender for 6 years. He was an adult when he arrived and we are not sure how old he was, goats can live up to 18 years of age. Elvis loved to have his picture taken and to show off to the public who came to visit the shelter. In the last few months he opted for the quieter life and would hang out in the stable most of time. Thank you everyone who sponsored Elvis over the years. We miss you Elvis our lovable rogue. RIP.

The Broadway adaptation takes place entirely in a Dublin pub, and the 14-actor company plays all of the show’s music – even playing as the audience comes in before the show. It’s one way the show stays intimate and relatable, which was one of the challenges in transitioning Once from screen to stage. “[Playwright] Enda [Walsh] has got a friend who said, ‘Turning Once into a piece of theatre would be like catching a butterfly,” and that’s absolutely a brilliant way of putting it,” said director John Tiffany, who is making his Broadway directorial debut. “We were very, very careful, fragile, delicate to retain the purity of that story while still making it something that can communicate to a thousand people in the same room.”

Of course you do. It was going to be the world’s biggest search engine. It represented Sarah Carey’s foray into Silicon Valley? Well, it seems like Google [the world’s actual biggest search engine] have snapped up the last of her college friend Tom Costello’s patent applications.
