YIPPEE!!
So after weeks and weeks and even more weeks of trying, Tim and I FINALLY won the Wicked Lottery!!!!
It's pretty kick ass to hear your name being called (even if it was his). You're so used to not hearing it that you almost don't realize that it's been called. The best part is that we were like the 5th or 6th pull so we were literally in the center of the stage about 4 seats left.
I couldn't dream of seeing it in a better place. I got to see Wicked at the OCPAC in August 2006 and really wanted to see it at the Pantages but wasn't stoked on the $150 price tag to sit in decent seats and Tim had taken Brian in April so neither one of us really wanted to fork over the cash and yet we both really wanted to see it again so our best option was to play the lottery.
This time we met up a half hour earlier to make sure we hit up the ATM (it's a cash only lottery) and got coffee at It's a Grind instead of Starbucks. We got up there really early and were like the 6th and 7th people in line.
The waiting paid off though. Front row seats at $25 each! It's abolsutely amazing!
I really love theater but there's nothing like sitting up close to where you can actually see the emotion on the character's faces.
I have a couple of pics of me and Tim up on Flickr.
I almost feel like I'm totally addicted and want to go back and play each week in hopes that we can see it again. I know, I know it's totally seflish and I need to give others a chance and i will....(once I get the first pull ;-))...
In any case, Tim and I (for the most part) are back to sleeping in on Sundays and then doing our regular lunch and errand thing....
Thanks for being such and awesome pal Tim and taking the trip with me up to the Pantages almost every Sunday for the last few months. It's been a blast and the payoff was far better than I could ever imagined!
Yesterday was a pretty kick-ass day if I do say so myself. =)
