Why Am I So Lucky?

[mik3cap]

I went to the PIT tonight to see Dr. CocaColaMcDonald's 21st century protest music played on old Casios and game boys. I was one of five audience members... and three of us were actually staff / members of the PIT. It was kinda funny, kinda not, a performance art kind of thing. I give the guy lots of props though for playing to a five person audience.

Anyway... so I go there, get there about a half hour early, and the ticket guy walks up to me - right up to me - and asks me: "Hey, do you want a free ticket to go see Cry Baby? Tomorrow night at 7:00p.m."

And this is where my great-grandfather's advice comes in handy - "Whenever someone offers you a gift, you take it and say 'Thank You.'" So I say, "Why yes, thank you!" And he says, "Here, take two."

So there you go. I go out to see a show, and I come home with over a hundred dollars worth of tickets.

And Dr. CocaColaMcDonald's will probably be sitting next to me, because he got free tickets from the PIT too.

Some days I feel like the dude from Intacto (rent it, watch it, love it). I'd almost say that I should start buying lottery tickets, except it never really works that way... so I need someone to surreptitiously follow me around and drop lottery tickets on the ground in front of me so that I'll randomly pick them up and they'll be winners...

Too bad I can't find anyone to go with me. :/

Do you want to take the train into the city and go see it? Belated Mother's Day present!

It's pretty good but not great, by the way. Some funny bits and songs, but the center does not hold, as it were.

And congrats for the freebie....

Yeah I read your take on it... who'da thunk John Waters would go so mainstream, on Disney's Broadway?

I am tempted. Tomorrow morning there will be TONY nominees announced.

Your great-grandfather understood the Way Things Work awfully well. Your city was very kind to me in a similar vein last month. It appears to be a very generous city if you let it.

Sorry Mikey....can't make it. Hopefully, we will see you this weekend!
Did you see? "Cry-Baby" got 4 Tony Noms! Nice.
