If I were a bell I'd be riiinging

This one goes out to Kathryn.

Kathryn was all mad that I told her about my blog but then didn't write anything about our fantabulous trip to see Guys and Dolls on Broadway last weekend when she came to visit.

Let me just tell you how many kinds of luck we had getting these tickets. Kathryn was dying to see the show because, you know, she loves doing stuff, and Guys and Dolls was her first musical as a child. I was desperately hoping we could get tickets because none other than LAUREN FRICKIN GRAHAM was playing Miss Adelaide. Gilmore Girls is hands-down my favorite show of all time. I own the complete series on DVD and it pretty much provides the background noise which plays on a loop in my apartment.

We went down to the box office at the Nederlander Theater in the early afternoon to find out about rush tickets for that night, and lo and behold, with our student IDs we were able to score 11th row seats for $26.

It was amazing to sit that close at a Broadway Show even though we were waaay over to the side and a teensy sliver of the right side of the stage was obstructed. The show was a lot of fun and Lauren Graham was really entertaining. It was strange to see her in the blond wig and laying on the thick (New York?) accent and acting all ditzy; her voice was totally unrecognizable.

The one line that would have put the night over the top, was unfortunately never spoken on stage: "Give it to 'em good, Jule!"
