The Play Better Be Good
One hundred dollars plus for a Broadway show has become normal, but I read the other day that in Lost Angeles some seats have hit the century mark for a one-woman show by a celebrity offspring who has become a celebrity herself in past years whining publicly about her parents and blabbing about her battles with substance abuse. Wow, how's that for fascinating? Go to any Beverly Hills cocktail party and you can hear the same sorry tale from anyone sipping from a glass of Evian while pigging out on the Brie and miniature tacos. But hey, theatre's a bargain. A courtside seat at a Lakers game can run you a couple of grand. And that's without the hot dog and beer.

Makes a Netflix membership look like a real bargain!
John C, this is terrific, definitely among the top ten for funny. One does not have to go to a one woman (or man) show or even a cocktail party in LA to hear whining about parents; being misunderstood or etc. All one has to do is stand in line at the grocery store when the store is full of shoppers waiting to check out their supplies, says she with a grin.
Tough decision, go on the cruise and wind up sick or go to the theatre, see a show and wind up sick.
Hi John,
I have bookmarked your blog so I can check your cartoons. You have been busy.
I suppose you have to "mingle" to keep in touch... no wonder you take off to Italy!
