Hello all! I'm posting from Em's pretty new Mac. *pets*
I have to tell y'all what happened to me last night and thank Fantab for not being able to do Rent lotto with me. Instead of trying to do the Rent lotto last night by myself, I figured there would be less competition on a Sunday night show, so I decided to see Red Light Winter last night instead. They have student tickets available for $20 an hour before the show, so I showed up just after 7pm to buy one. The guy at the counter, however, informed me that there was a waitlist for student tickets and if not everyone showed up for showtime, I could have their seat. He said to come back at like 5-10 minutes before the show started at 8pm and they'd see if they could fit me and the other people on the list in.
So I was bummed, because I really wanted to see it, but at this point, if I couldn't see it, I was just going to go back to Em's anyway, so I figured I might as well wait it out. I wandered around the Village for the next half hour (and didn't get lost, yay!) then went back to the theater. They were filling up and the box office started to call a few people off the waiting list to get tickets. There was this one guy insisting that the rest of his friends were on the way in the car and they would be there in like 2 minutes. So the house people held off starting the show, or selling the rest of the tickets. I was hoping the people that worked there would give up and sell us the tickets because I really wanted to see the show, but then a bunch of people came in. I looked over and
COLIN FARRELL is standing there.
He says "We're all here" in this AMAZING accent, then walks RIGHT PAST me to get to the box office and pick up his tickets. I was openly gawking with this HUGE grin on my face and he walked past me again (literally like 2 inches away) and gave his tickets to his friends in this really weird way and then they went into the show together.
The box office guy sold me an advance student ticket for tonight and was like "We're really sorry for making you wait." Heh. I'm not!
I left the building, immediately whipped out my phone and called 3 people, talking a mile a minute on each. So even though the evening didn't go as planned, there is NO WAY I'm complaining!
