Pretty, pretty boys

pbrayYesterday, jpsorrow, Tom and I went down to New York City, where we had dinner at Bar Americain, then saw Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman in A STEADY RAIN. Dinner was very nice, and the play was amazing. The actors were so in character that they didn't distract from the story (though as a crime/forensic junkie, one reveal wasn't a reveal to me because the minute they started describing the situation I knew exactly how it was going to turn out.) It was only at the end of the show, as Daniel and Hugh started taking off their shirts so they could auction their t-shirts off for charity, that we once again paid attention to the fact that these were indeed very pretty boys.
The actors complimented the audience for our discipline (not a single ringing cell phone,) and the auction set a record for the show (11K was the previous record, but last night they got up to 20K, with two determined bidders finally agreeing that they'd each pay 10K, and each get two autographed shirts, plus the opportunity to hang out backstage with Daniel and Hugh and have their photographs taken.)
Then it was off to the Perfect Pint (I had a perfect half-pint), followed by train to Beacon, and then getting on the road. I was the most awake, and it was my car, so I drove back, while Tom and Josh took turns keeping me awake. Drive was long but uneventful, and after dropping Josh and Tom and their respective dwellings I pulled into my driveway at 3:30 AM.
Woke up at usual time, then managed to go back to sleep for another hour. Current ambition is lunch at the Lost Dog while working on marketing promo stuff, and then high probability of a nap this afternoon.

Needless to say, a few seconds later he stood up to announce "We're now up to ten thousand..."
