had a real NYC night
night before last
went to see HAIR
at the DELACORTE theatre in central park
part of the Shakespeare in the park series
although hair is of course NOT written by Bill Shakespeare
not that he wouldn't have liked it
i think he woulda loved it
anyway
free theatre in the park is something of an only in New York kinda experience
my pals Tray and Sarah
and the kid collection- zora, hannah, nick, lukas
all waited from 8am on to finally get tickets
only to be rained out a few days ago
then they went back again
so stoic
sarah got on line with the kids at 8
at 2:45 she was given vouchers which are not a 100% guarantee of tickets
we all went back to the patch of grass thats where voucher folks need to wait at 6:30 and by 8:00 had tickets
heres the deal
a lotta folks paid home-less people or other budding entrepeneurs to wait on line for them
its only 2 tickets per person
so you cant pay one homeless dude to wait
and then get 10 tickets
a lotta folks got smart
one guy sold starbucks to the line
we actually ordered pizza
yes pizza
frys and one burger to the area we were waiting in
and had a little pizza party on the grass
and got wine from the theatre concession and carted that over
so the waiting was actually a hoot
i lucked out since i only had to show up at 6pm
not 8am thanks to sarah
anyway
HAIR was great
i loved watching the faces of the kids age range 10-12
when the entire cast when nude
and you know what i'd never actually seen Hair before
only the movie you remember the one who Treat Williams
this was way better!
all and all a great NYC night
so if you want to make some big bucks
go the the line up of grumpy new yorkers
waiting 8am till 2 or 3 in the afternoon
and sell shots of espresso
i think youd make a ton
throw in some croissants too
