Things are really shaping up for an amazing trip again!

The original plan was to go to NY for two-three nights tops.  Just enough time to check out the two most important shows and some sights and come back... however... something amazing happened.  Josh's aunt Theresa agreed to not only take care of our hotel bill, but said that we may as well get the buy 4 nights get one night free.  BAM! twice the trip to plan now.  :D


Work has already given me most of those days off, so it won't be too difficult to take the extra one or two days in addition.  Thank goodness for my paid time off accumulating since July.  They shall be fine without me for a week.

Tomorrow tickets for the second season of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver go up for grabs and I plan to acquire three tickets.

Also, I will try like hell to get Daily Show with Jon Stewart tickets too.

We got to see the Late Show with David Letterman last time around, mostly because we didn't have enough time to get the tickets we really wanted.

Broadway Tickets Acquired!

We are officially going to two shows.
We have purchased the tickets to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Cabaret.  I am so stoked about seeing John Cameron Mitchell as Hedwig, I'm watching the movie right now with him in it.  As much as I love Neil Patrick Harris and Michael C. Hall, I very easily passed those two up to wait for JCM.






I am kinda sad Emma Stone won't be there still playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret, but I don't want to end up disliking her too like Michelle Williams.  I just don't think that any female can reprise Sally Bowles like Liza Minnelli did.



Alan will be amazing, I'm sure of it.  He was born to play Emcee. 


Another find: The Way Station in Brooklyn.

It's a Doctor Who themed bar, stocked with themed drinks, i.e. sonic screwdrivers of the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th doctors.  It is even equipped with a TARDIS inside.  Every Sunday they host a nerd karaoke and I actually want to go.

Okay Okay, So I messed up and never wrote more...

I had a really really fantastic time last fall.  It was filled with amazing adventures and shows.  So much so, that I have to go back.
The target month: March.  Specifically for the last few performances of Hedwig and the Angry Inch as performed by John Cameron Mitchell, the original Hedwig.  <3 p="">The plan is to go with my two best friends in this world: Melinda and Josh.

I will also be seeing Alan Cumming in Cabaret for a second time, but we all knew that was going to be in the plans.

We buy our tickets for Hedwig tonight, marking the official commitment of going to NY.  We will then book the hotel through Josh's awesome Aunt Theresa whom takes good care of us.  Then Cabaret tickets on the cheap, $22 for HipTix.
