Oh, don't get me started on the whole "If you really cared you'd shell out 1000 bucks for the tickets."
Many of us are not at a place in our lives where we can justify spending 1000 dollars on something for ourselves. Even if it's something we want REALLY badly.
Personally I'm not planning on camping out for days. I'll probably get there a few hours early to check out the scene, because I'm neurotic. And yes I realize there's a very slim chance of winning. Hell, I've never even won any of the regular B'way lottos and I've played several. People are going to come out for this because they know they could never forgive themselves if they didn't at least TRY.

so, like, guys, i'm like totally going to wake up early and go to the life cafe and dance on the tables and order some huevos rancheros and then go to like nytw at like 10am and then like start singing the WHOLE soundtrack. i totally think that when we get to maureen's protest we should all mooo and moo and moo until we all like get our tickets or whatever. oh and we should totally make some finger sandwiches and eat them too! omg this is going to me SO MUCH FUN, you guys. i can't wait! like we all have such AMAZING voices and can totally sing like every word of every part of every song at the top of our lungs and like go up to the homeless people and act out the whole 'smile for ted koppel, officers.' i'll even bring a video camera! omg!

liotte - we're not joking. i already bought some almond butter for anthony's finger sandwiches, and some dr. scholl's shoe gels so that wilson can be all comfy. my cat suit should be arriving in the mail within the next week. if you can't beat 'em, join 'em (or at least talk it up so much that they think it's now uncool and refrain from being idiots)

I would love to see the show and probably could save up $1,000. But NO show is worth that much to me. So I will try the lottery because $20 plus waiting an hour or so is definitely worth it.
And I don't understand why people think 30 minutes is not long enough to get everyone in the lotto. Instead of the usual 2 people writing their names down at once, they will probably have quite a few stations. So if they have 5 stations to put peoples' names in, then they could easily get through 3000 people in a half hour.
Do you have to be 18 to enter the lottery? Do you even have to be 16? Sorry, I'm 15 and have never entered before, but my friend and I are going to drive up to NY just to enter.
He's 18, and I am 15. Do you know if it is legal for us both to enter, and if one of us wins to just use it for both of us?
I don't think there is an age limit (there never has been in the past anyway), but you'll probably need some form of photo ID like usual.
