"Why do I always miss the good stuff?!!"
Remember that you lucked out by missing the bad stuff (the strike), and it'll ease the pain.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm thinking 6 am for free Angela Lansbury and Bernadette Peters. I'm sure their fan clubs are lining up as we speak.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Yeah, I'm also wondering what time I should get into the city by for this...
I know there will be the people there extremely early- but what do you think is a safe time so that I at least get a seat?
Also, what are they going to do if more people turn up than there are seats- turn the away or let them stand in the theater?
There is only one you for all time. Fearlessly be yourself.

Let them stand = fire hazard I am sure.
Ponder....leave internship?...
Yes!! :)

I'm thinking of getting there around 8:30-9.

Well I'm pretty sure they can accomodate standing room, but after that's full, anyone else is most likely SOL.

Posted: 11/29/07 at 5:44pmI've gone to many events like this at the Marquis, and it is a first come first serve situation. So get there early.

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 11/29/07 at 8:38pmI have tickets to Drowsy tomorrow night. I could come up for this but that would mean by having to hang out in the city alone from the end of the concert to Drowsy opens its doors. Decisions!
