A Hot Ticket

Sometimes I find events on the internet that I don't even really consider "Should I go to this?" or "Should I ask around and see who else might like to go?" Sometimes there is no time to think. Sometimes, I just know I must purchase this ticket immediately.

A. No one else has the balls to really commit to this mess. No one else knows their schedule as well as I do.
B. OMG It might sell out then I'll hate myself - MUST PURCHASE TICKET IMMEDIATELY!

I scrambled, pretty much threw all the shit out of my purse and demolished my neat desk to purchase a ticket for this "Friends with a Benefit" benefit for The American Bird Conservancy. Although the line-up looks nice, I'm totally in it to see Ira Glass (hubba-hubba) interview my woman Rachel Maddow! And it's at this venue that I went to see Hillary at during her presidential campaign. I mean, I went to see Hillary a few times but at Town Hall she had a fundraiser and she was in discussion with Wesley Clark (swoon.) I know it's a very "Sit-down" nice, intimate for NYC venue.

Per the seating chart online, I think my seat is approximately where this X is and I'm super happy with these logistics:


The last event that I broke my neck to type in the credit card numbers fast enough was for that Martha Stewart Encyclopedia of Sewing book release party. I'm glad I did it then and I have the utmost confidence in seeing Maddow this time. (I've gone to a Maddow speaking event before.)

The weather was odd today and it just seemed like the right thing to do- stop and take a little photo on the way to work. My pocket camera has a panorama-maker setting.

This photo contains: The FDR, The Queensboro Bridge, Roosevelt Island, two dog parks and the East River Path that has a construction thing totally messing up me and Mr. JPH's bicycle commutes.
