It's all in who you know...

It's so true, especially in my line of work.  If I can be frank...  (which I can, because it's my blog) it sucks.  BUT, it doesn't suck when you know people who know people, and you get to do cool things for free.

Cool thing #1:

My apartment-mate's friend, (who was gracious enough to have me over for Thanksgiving the year I was in New York for the holiday) is a broadway actor, and now in Sister Act, the musical.  Monday night he got us tickets to the show, freeeee of charge.  The show was so much fun, and afterwards we went to drinks with him, and another broadway actor, currently in La Cage.  Also fun + alcohol.

Cool thing #2:

The New York Philharmonic is doing a 'concert' production of Company this weekend.  Apartmentmate's husband (yes, I live with a married couple) has currently been working as the Stand In for Stephen Colbert.  So for the final dress rehearsal, he got us tickets.  Let me just tell give you an idea of who was in the cast:

'Twas quite fun I must say...
