TONIGHT: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Where Have You Been? Stories about travel and far-away places. New Yorkers go all over the world but the city has a way of swallowing their homecomings. Orbit the earth and your friends just ask if you missed the pizza. Tonight offers a chance for travelers to tell stories, to bring the world home, and to share it -- with travelers as well as those of us who don't get out much. Featuring interviews with three intrepids: Circus composer Sxip Shirey explains the difference between touring islands in NorthernScotland and hitting the road with the Dresden Dolls; activist Dyan Neary went to Oaxaca, Mexico, in search of the paramilitary thugs who killed Brad Will; and DJ, promoter, and New Release publisher Justin Carter was carjacked in Los Angeles. Interviews by Jeff Stark. Gorgeous slideshows tightly edited and mercifully short.
