Adventures in the (Big) Apple - Part 2
I got in line too early for tickets to "The Little Mermaid". I was determined for it to sell out and for standing room tickets to become available. It was cold! When the box office finally opened, I found out it wasn’t sold out, so I stood close by and celebrated in silence with each ticket sold for the day until I finally got my ticket. It was quite a game and I have to say that the ticketing people were opposite of the friendly reputation that Disney upholds. At least I got a discount from buying some merchandise because I’m much better friends with the team there.
Getting tickets to "Legally Blonde" was another whole adventure. I was 8th in line on a VERY cold morning, but by the time the box office opened, 2 hours later, I was 16th! The brats ahead of me were saving spots in line for their friends and argued that their friends had been there all along when I politely asked them to search their own conscience and do what’s right. The girl in the white jacket is one of those brats. This feature on my blog is probably her only shot at "fame" but it really is a call for all my fellow friends on Broadway or any stage for that matter, to freely spit and rain on her like there’s no tomorrow if they ever see her in the front row, which is likely because she buys student tickets. The best part was that my friend was in the show and I hope they saw me pointing them out to her when everyone was at the stage door waiting for autographs. That will teach them to mess with me!
I had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day, had a green beer and even saw the parade. Speaking of Patrick, I’m currently staying at Patrick’s place (a friend) which is really close to Times Square but away enough from it not to be surrounded by the noise. I’m loving the city and my temporary home!
