On the ground

Okay, I just got back from NYC early this morning and in one word, my trip was erie. The streets were not crowded at all, TKTS the discount ticket both had no line and the only people on the streets where the strikers. I'll be published a full report within the next week after the holiday, but New York was different. The best way I can highlight this is by describing the lakc of energy in the city. Usually by 1:30PM there are lines of people waiting to get into each show and that just wasn't happening. There was no electricity there was no excitement. Overall I had a great time, but it was sad. In addition it looks like this strike could last beyond Thanksgiving.

On the bright side of life I did happen to cath the fantastic revival of "Pygmalion" with Claire Danes. I must admit that I really wasn't expecting much but I was wrong. The revival was first rate and quite enjoyable. Anyway Happy Thanksgiving and here' s hoping this thing is over soon.
