Winning the Lottery

On Friday we won the lottery!  The theater ticket lottery, that is.  Most of the big shows on Broadway have a lottery before each performance where you can win super cheap front row seats if your name is pulled.  My husband had some time to kill so he went down and entered the lottery for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and he won!  He was the last name pulled and only got one ticket so he gave it to me because he knows how much I wanted to see this show.

It was phenomenal!  Daniel Radcliffe is so cute (I saw him in Equus last year too...yep, I got to see Harry Potter's magic wand!) and John Larroquette was wonderful.  Front row seats were amazing and only $30 for the lottery winners, which is pretty amazing considering I haven't seen orchestra tickets for this show for less than $180 in almost a year.  I did take pictures and I will upload them later but right now my camera is across the room and my dog is on my lap and she is too cute to disturb.

And finally pictures are here!  Well, one picture at least.

Love, Loss and What I Wore

On Friday my husband and I had free tickets to see Love, Loss and What I Wore on 43rd St.  We had a great time!





Before the show we went to Juniors because it was free cheesecake day!  My husband had the pumpkin cheesecake and I had the devil's food cheesecake.  I had their wonderful southern fried chicken breast and it was delicious.

The show was wonderful!  It was lovely to find a show with a character that I was so able to identify with on the stage.  That doesn't happen often for me, being a plus sized woman and all.  I highly recommend the show if you haven't seen it already.

Dinner and Protesters

Last night we went out to dinner at Amor Cubano again.  I've mentioned them previously and they are super delicious!  We had a gift certificate we got from my husband's mother so dinner was free which was a super bonus.

I keep seeing the protesters on Wall St every day.  I hope they are able to make a difference...I think their message is a good one even if I think they are going about sharing it the wrong way.
