Really, today was just great. Woke up to blue skies (finally...after weeks of bad weather) and it was just a sign! Some friends of mine have been going to the Wicked lottery everyday after work, usually I can't go because i work later than when the lottery is going, but today there was a matinee showing and hopes were high that maybe just maybe someone from the group would win. WELL...we didnt. nope, not a single name was called after we literally RAN to the theater and were the last cards in (i think).
So...figuring we shouldn't waste a day we went and walked around the Hells Kitchen Street Fair (very cool but very overwhelming) and then hit the real stores...like Macys (such a classic, i will always love that store the most) and Gap. My friend and i found quite cute outfits if we say so ourselves and then decided that we should try for the Wicked lottery again for the 8pm show. Getting to the theater super early it was quite crazy seeing the hordes of people line up.
Some of you may know how insanely hard it is to win the NYC Wicked lottery, literally 300 people were there for...26 tickets, i mean really...there are myths about how many times people have gone and won nothing. well...WE'RE SO NOT THAT STORY! My dear friends tommy and jessica have been going nightly for 2 weeks hoping to get tickets..and the magic ticket man finally called their names. YES BOTH OF THEM! so i got to go!!!! It was totally crazy and really...i'm still unsure how it all happened, some people have theories, but really...i dont care! IT WAS SO FUN! I haven't seen Wicked since the original cast and i LOVED it this time. I'm hooked all over again. Plus, being FRONT ROW isn't too shabby either!
Here is how close we were...
We couldnt stop smiling all night
Yeah, its rough when the speaker is right infront...not
We also ran into Creed from the Office and missed Obama's date night cruise by probably a block but today was just right.
Oh, and the subway ride home the 1st chair violinist noticed us...cause you know..we were in the front row, and he was TOTALLY cool and way psyched to talk to us! Gotta love the subway. I'll count him as one of my celeb sightings on the subway (previous sightings include: Cynthia Nixon and Jaslene)
We finished the night off right with pinkberry and a nice walk through riverside park.
Sorry this is alittle wordy, not usually my style, but i just can't help it! Great day!
Wow, you had a tremendous day. Props!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you had such a great day!! I didn't think you could top Wicked since we saw the original cast, but you did and now have a great story to tell. Good luck to your last week there.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Mom
Hahaha Jaslene. TYRA!!!!!!!! I'm so jealous of the Wicky. It really does not get old. Love it! And Creed from the OFFICE?! Way cooler than Creed the band.
