And thus, continues day 5... (it started when I wrote about yesterday).

After finishing my blog, I decided to roam around Times Square today, since I was aiming for those tickets.

Drum roll please... I got front row tickets to the matinee of "Rent"!!! The show was fantastic. I'd seen it once, about 4-5 years ago when I was living in Baton Rouge, and then I saw the movie last year, but I love the music so much I wanted to see it again. And the cast didn't let me down. I want to do musical theatre again. I am auditioning for COS's "Godspell" this year, if it doesn't conflict with any prior engagements (please, don't conflict!).

After that, I tried to get front row tickets to "Avenue Q." No such luck, but while I was there I did have a celebrity citing - Jessica Simpson. Dear lord does that woman have an entourage/supply of bodyguards. She even had bodyguards on bicycles next to her SUV for a block or two (until she got away from the crowd - she was leaving MTV, I think).

So now I'm back at the apartment. I told Christine that if I didn't get tickets for tonight, that I'd go see her play. I have just enough time to take a quick shower before that happens, so...

Cheers!
