Here's how it doesn't work: Don't buy your tickets online, because they're all gone within a day. What a fucking bummer.

Also, way to dismiss Once without even seeing it. But then, the last time I went to a show because you loved it I walked out during the first act. I guess I should be used to this by now.

I saw Richard Gere there (in Volpone; he was like 21 or something)! And at one point, his shoe flew off and hit me in the chest, no lie (I was sitting close to the stage). After the show was over, I put the shoe up on the stage. Then a few years later I was at a party where Peter Donnelly kept following me around all evening - with zero encouragement on my part - which was not flattering at the time.
