Well, yesterday I told you that we would send you all an e-mail to let you know that the tickets for the December 19th show just went on sale. That was the big announcement for yesterday. But, the message never went out...
...um, sorry.
This stuff is more complicated than it looks. (Actually, to me, it looks like the inner workings of the Space Shuttle.)
But, anyway... those tickets are on sale at the box office (212) 501-3330. I'll try to send an e-mail out again sometime today, maybe. (We just may have to move servers, afterall.)
I'm getting an awful lot of really nice comments on through that "Contact" section... from all over the country and the world. It's a very cool thing. Actually, I'm getting more messages from far away than from here in New York City. I guess people from around the world just like to feel close to New York. I found that to be true in the days immediately following September 11th last year. This website was inundated with messages of compassion and grief from countries I didn't even know were countries... maybe in part, because it was the only connection so many people had to this town. I don't think you New Yorkers realize how much you all affect the people that come here to visit. They invariably tell me they were amazed, and surprised, and delighted at the cool people they met here. It is never what they expected. And, they seem to want to keep in touch.
Anyway, I feel very lucky to be their connection sometimes. I just wanna pass it onto you guys so that you know, too. Maybe, down the road, the message boards in the "Forum" section will get goin' in an international way. Maybe, down the road, we'll put up a place wwhere I can post some of the most touching, thoughtful and thought-provoking e-mails I get. There are so many. Again, it's a very cool thing.
Anyway, I'll be in the park this Sunday. But, I'll check back here before then.
