I would go for the $35 range VK. I remember us talking about this before and then I heard it was cancelled. But that was for October so I guess they have rescheduled.

OK, I went to Opening Night. If you want to get the gist of a lot of what she talked about, here is the cover of the program:



It was pretty funny (and definitely adult-oriented). She disses her mother gently but really lays into her father, talks about her mental illness and her alcoholism and the death of a good friend in her house and in her bed (no, I am not making this up). She wears her Leia buns in one SW vignette when she talks about making the movie, and does her familiar action figure/George Lucas owns me/ shtick. Oh, and she sings happy .

A sample quote: "To say that you're alcoholic and manic-depressive is the same thing as saying you live in California and Los Angeles." The funniest part is the ending, when she says she can't remember names but she remembers that damned speech -- and we all know which one she's referring to -- and proceeds to do it, complete with lighting effects. It was fun.

LEIA: General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone
Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire.
I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in
person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission
to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital
to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2
unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid
safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Yep, and she does it in about 20 seconds, without a mistake or falter -- while the strobes are going off overhead. It was great.

Tammy and I are going this Saturday to see it. It's part of my Season Ticket package. I also got a mailer from the Geffen. For 1500 dollars, they have a special final night showing on January 10 that includes a cocktail party with Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds.

Yeah, I saw that, CD. Seeing those two together in person would be fun. Too bad I don't have the moolah, good cause and all. Have fun this Saturday! Are you sitting in the center sections? If not, the stupid tree on the stage covers up some of the pictures they show, if you're sitting in the left section.

Hi, I was just wondering if she said anything about Paul Simon. It's always funny when she talks about him.

Oh yeah, she talked about Paul. It was funny, but sad at the same time (a lot about the show is funny/sad). They were together a long time, and neither of them really knew why, apparently.

I heard this was a good show. I wish I remembered to check the posts because I would have gone with you, VK. Lisa May on KROQ gave a brief synopsis about the show. Now that we are into the holiday season most of my weekends are just booked. Man!

I would like to go for my birthday next month. My BD is the 15th and that's a Friday I would either go then or Saturday night. Anyone want to join me? No gifts, just your company.

Ok scratch that then, I'm going to Vegas with JR.

In fact I learned today that I will be working (shocker) that weekend. We are moving 49 people. I'm going to need to drink.
