Crazy. I went with a friend for today's matinee. We both lost, which makes me 0 for 5.

I chose, and my world was shaken- So what? The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not...

I give props to anyone that can do 8 shows of live theatre a week ! I watch these people in awe ! I know how tired I am sometimes, and I sit at a desk all day.
I walked past the lotto today, and there were TONS of people there. It must be impossibly difficult to win!

I saw the 2:00pm matinee on Sat. March 22nd and he was out. He still came and signed at the stage door and was so sweet! Lin did say he was sick and resting up for the 8:00pm show.

Crowded... yes? But, someone has got to win! It's worth a shot if you are in town, as long as you have a backup plan. There are so many shows you can grab a last minute student rush ticket to that if you lose you can head over to a box office and still see soemthing that day/night.
You have just as much a chance as anyone else standing there. I recommend putting your name in with about 5 minutes before the drawing, they don't seem to mix it up that well, and all for times I won I put my name in at 5:55 / 12:55. And the two people who got called before me I noticed entered their names even after me. Coincidence? Superstition? It's worth a shot.
Whenever I see a crowded lotto I think this, and it makes me feel better: I won lotto for Kristen Chenoweth's last in Wicked when there were over 900 fangirls in specialized t-shrits. I was there with my sisters, trying to do AIDA student rush. They had sold out so we figured we'd try Wicked, not knowing it was her last show. I have also lost RENT lotto, for example, when there were 36 people there and I was the only one who lost. It's all lucky, don't automatically count yourself out (or in for that matter)
Also, do you guys fold your papers or keep them unfolded?
I tried last night and lost. I would say there were probably 100 people there. On my way back to Penn Station though I did stumble upon a movie set. Ryan Gosling & Kirsten Dunst were filming All Good Things on 38th. I hung around and watched for a while and ended up getting to meet Ryan. He was nice! Since I am broke, I will just have to keep trying my luck at the lotto....or get a sugar daddy/momma
