Fun Shows coming up

Last night I went with Ariana, Jordan and Goombah to see Disturbed at the Nokia Theater at Times Square. It was the first time at that venue for all of us (as the place is pretty new- it just opened in September). It's a pretty cool place though. It was obviously an old broadway theater, as there are seats in the back, then two lower levels that were General Admission, then the stage which was at the bottom. There were also two side balcony sections. But the entire place was actually GA (even the seats), so that was pretty sweet cuz you could move to any section whenever you please. Like, let's say you wanna sit in the seats for most of the show, but then a song comes on that you just need to mosh to, you can just leave your seat and go to the front, and vice versa. Which is something fairly unique, especially at venues in NY.

So yeah, I would totally recomend this venue if any other cool shows went there in the future.

As for how Disturbed was, they were awesome as always. They played about an hour and a half and performed all their big hits, so I was happy.

Got some other shows and stuff coming up soon.

-First, I scored tix to a WWE Smackdown houseshow at the Westchester County Center the day after Christmas. And not just any tix but FIFTH ROW Ringside! So I'm very psyched for that. I'll be going to the show with Gaetano, James, Ariana and my nine year old cousin, Mitchell who will be visiting with his family from Florida over Christmas break. So it should be a lot of fun, especially seeing my little cousins reactions to stuff.

-Then for after the new year, I got tix to the Off-Broadway show- Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. It's supposed to be a play about the Peanuts gang ten years after the comic strip ends. Reviews compare it to the famous broadway show- Avenue Q in how it takes beloved children's characters and puts them in "real life situations."

The casting for the play seems interesting also. It's got Eliza Dushku (Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ian Somerhalder (Boone from Lost), and Eddie Kaye Thomas (Finch or "Shitbreak" from the American Pie movies, among others. So it should be pretty amusing.

-And lastly I also was able to get tix to two seperate Yankee games through the Yankee account holder ticket presale. I got one for the Yanks vs Mets on July 1st and the other against the Red Sox on Sept. 15th. I know it's far away but it should be a lot of fun. And I can't wait to get the actual season tix (our regular 8 game plan) as well.
