November 10- Our Adventure in NYC
My brother came with me into the city on the day that I was
going to the Duran Duran concert. We looked around in some stores and went to
St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
We bought some CDs
in the Virgin Megastore. He got Bon Jovi- Crossroads,
Rush, and Hall and Oates. I got Phil Collins- Love Songs and Elvis 30 #1
Hits. I paid cash for that but then used my credit card for 2 DD CDs and
their Sing Blue Silver DVD.
I heard their
“Hungry Like the Wolf” playing on the stereo system and saw a big cardboard cut
out thing of them there. In Barnes and Noble I read a review of their new
album. This was getting me even more excited about seeing them.
We got to the
Barrymore Theatre at about 7:10. A girl was there telling people that the show
had been cancelled because of the Broadway strike. This was extremely
disappointing. She handed out a paper with a number to call about rescheduling.
My brother was
talking to a girl who had traveled all the way from Norway to see them. I felt
bad for her.
This would have
been only the second time ever that I was in a Broadway theater. The first was
in 1982 on a class trip. We saw The Pirates of Penzance but the understudies
not Linda Ronstadt and Rex Smith were in it. I still have the Playbill for
this.

I was feeling so anxious when calling that number. The guy
told me that I could use my ticket either that night or the next one. They
would now be performing at the Roseland Ballroom. I just have to go tonight I
can’t wait another day to see them
Mike and I are going
to Target tomorrow. I will be buying DD’s new album, Red Carpet Massacre. It is new release day. This is the first time
that I will ever be purchasing an album when it first came out.
