1. HERE'S A NEWS FLASH: MY JOB = FULL OF SUCK. Well, okay, that's not a news flash, it's a friggin' sad fact of my life. But I'm pretty certain I'm never going to get to go home at a normal time again - not for the next week... make that month (year? decade?), anyway. I am very much not looking forward to having even less of a life than I already

Vacations in NYC are ... not yet on the scale of Meryl!Awesome-ness, but they could touch the very, very tip of her dress yes... ;)

[ellixian]

LOL, Meryl's awesome is on a whole other scale of amazing; I can't even compare it to, you know, stuff I do. ;) But I think my recent NYC trip MIGHT come close to comparing. MAYBE.

[pdt_bear]

I think I might hope that she does another play in NYC (another In the Park/Delacorte production?) Or another stage play altogether. I'm so sorry that I'd missed Mother Courage by a week. :/

[ellixian]

That was a ridiculous show to get tickets for, though. Right? I mean - it was free or something insane like that. If (when) Meryl goes back to the stage, there is no question about it, I will be back in NYC in a HEARTBEAT. Well, in 24 hours' worth of heartbeat, anyway, however long it takes me to travel there! :P

[pdt_bear]

It's much of the 'wait all day in a queue' for tickets. Unless you're a patron/benefactor in which case, you has seats.

I'd love to see her in a stage production, an entirely different experience from her large/small screen work. :D

[ellixian]

Dang with the having to, you know, have a lot of money so I can be guaranteed a seat, urhg.

I WANT to see her onstage. What little I have seen - snippets of Mother Courage - convince me more than ever that she would be amazing and that she'd have blazed a HUGE trail on Broadway if she hadn't decided to go off and have kids and be a movie actress instead. WANT. TO. SEE.

There is now an online lottery system so you don't HAVE to stand all day (literally, from like the wee hours of the morning) for tickets, but I still have never made it to Shakespeare in the Park. Whoops. I didn't hear wonderful things about Mother Courage, but then, I'm sure you guys would just be happy to see her on stage. I watched part of when she did Taming of the Shrew in high school English class and THAT looked fucking fantastic.

#2 reason I've never gone to Shakespeare in the Park? HU. MID. I. TY. I win.

That'd be the biggest reason why I wouldn't visit NYC during the height of summer. I'd want to toss myself into an icebox and be a popsicle before I ventured outside. :/

Dry heat is fine. Humidity will send me fleeing to the closest refrigerator. :| Hence, my continued not-traveling to the PacRim during the summer. I'll only think about the winter/spring timing. ;)

Ha, this is possibly the only thing Singapore has trained me for. EPIC AMOUNTS OF HUMIDITY. This, Leslie, is why I could run around NYC in jeans in the summer and hardly feel it at all. I was USED TO IT.

If Meryl goes onstage again, you couldn't keep me away if you TRIED. There in half a heartbeat.

And Leslie - I understand from stalking reading reviews from the time that the show was worth it for Meryl alone. Show itself... not great.

[pdt_bear]

Humidity and I should not be in the same sentence... beyond a negative one. Epic amounts of humidity would be 100% guarantee of my disappearance. Summertime, I'll be in khakis and not jeans - because, theatre = not-jeans. :)
