battery dead. left my lights on because my stupid fstarking car doesn't ding when i leave the lights on, and the dash lights aren't bright enough to see. bloody fstarking POS ... rant rant rant. bah.

i feel stupid pointing to someone else's journal, but gareth is having so much fun at BitterCon that i felt obligated to share.

i've found tickets for The Producers for $235 for Satyrday, November 24. i kept looking but everything else i found kept getting more expensive, so i figured i'd quit while i was ahead. that's an awful lot of money. close to christmastime, too. so... probably not. i'll probably be kicking myself in five years, but hey.

$235? Shit, I just bought a motorcycle. And I don't even have a job at the moment :)

(And, I've killed my battery that way, in the Hechinger lot by TJ.. came back to a post-it saying "Your lights have been on all day.. good luck!")

heh. that *is* a crapload of money. OTOH, i've never been to a broadway play, and this seems like a pretty darn good one.

i've seriously considered getting a sticker for my car that says "if my lights are on, please call me" and my phone number. maybe i'll take it by the mazda dealer and see if they can install a dinger.

I think I'd be more inclined to go to one of the better-known/older plays if I were to see something on Broadway.. but then, I know nothing about the Producers than "it won scads of awards".

I've also considered installing my own "your lights are on" dinger.. but I've been pretty good about turning them off lately.

The Producers

[jazzfish]

based on an early film by Mel Brooks. Starring Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. Directed by Brooks. Supposedly hilarious, but I dunno. I'm waffling at this point.

Hmm.. sounds like it'd be good. Have you decided yet? And how many tickets would that $235 buy? One?

Re: The Producers

[jazzfish]

yeah, that's $235 per ticket. ouch. the thing is, that's $235 for maybe four hours entertainment... rotten bang for buck. otoh, it's unlikely that anything this cool will cross my path again in the near future.

i'm still waffling, so unless i get overwhelming response from a bunch of people i'm probably not going. oh well.

Re: The Producers

[skreidle.livejournal.com]

I think that's more than I'd want to spend on 4 hours of anything.. including air travel. What do tickets normally run, if this is a good deal?

Re: The Producers

[jazzfish]

yeah, that's pretty much the decision i've come to.

um. the next lowest prices I saw online were upwards of $300. I was expecting to be able to get away with less than $150, but then it went and won all those Tonys...

Yeah, I can wait a while.. if prices don't go down, well, I'll probably never see it.
