CABARET MY A**

Tonight we went to see the play "Cabaret" at the new venue here in Portland. We were four minutes late, the lady would not let us in....She told us to watch the TV screen in the lobby and when they would roar with applause we could go in but sit in the very back of the theatre and then at intermission we could take our seats....Fine...Ok....So the crowd applauds and this freaky lady lets us in & seats us against the wall.

After a few minutes the guy sitting next to my Wife starts coughing...hacking...coughing....clearing his throat....(SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!)......I keep giving him the Larry David look as he infects all of us so he can see this dreadful presentation of gay guys running around in their underwear with combat boots on.

PLUS...we were kind of excited to see Storm in her first role on stage. She was just so-so....Very un-appealing on stage and her voice is not geared for this type of foo-foo play. This girl needs to rock. Back to the schmuck sitting next to my wife....He can't stop coughing....other people in the crowd are also hacking away....Shit...It was like we were in the respiratory ward at a clinic. Half time finally arrived and my wife was upset because I was making comments and giving the sick guy creepy looks. As I get older, I think more about germs & infections than ever before. She could not face sitting next to me for the rest of the misery.....We went to PF Changs and had faux Chinese food. She was a great sport about it. I feel bad that I ruined her evening at the Theatre because she liked the play more than me. Why do sick people come out at night anyway?

That guy got the asshole award for the week.....Well..the week is not over.
