Re: $2,000 and counting - guilty pleasures
I'm sitting at the garage waiting to waste $$$$s fixing the car, so I'd much rather be spending it on concert tickets! It's something I never get round to somehow. Have fun tonight, wish I was there! ( also as someone who has seen Barry Manilow more than once - I went with a friend..... I don't think Chris is that embarrassing )

I like Tinpusher am a camera whore- can never get enough then a new sexy Dell powerful ultra book to take away with me to mess with the images (Snoopdawg calls it fannying around... I'm saying nothing!) Then travel to get nice photos- Costa Rica here we come!

. And unfortunately she has an eye on the iWatch .. I am praying that this will be the cheaper one, not 18k or she can go find a new kennel to live in!
I have cunning plan
Apple says tattoos can cause watch problems - BBC News
I'm talking her into getting a few tattoos, just at the wrists, going up the arms ... It might work!

Oh, look at you all, wonderful splurges of the dollars - I'm very impressed with you.
Once Republic last night was pretty good - my only (constant) complaint is about the venue. Calgary always uses the Saddledome which was built for hockey and not great acoustics. Imagine Dragons next month though, so ear-drums at the ready.
I LOVE musicals too Schnooks but I have been a little disappointed about the Canadian Broadway on Tour type ones that come to our city. The venue is usually the Jubilee Auditorium (which has wonderful acoustics by the way) but the stage shows always seem a scaled back version and although competent, not as polished as I expect when spending stupid money. We saw West Side Story last year and for $500 for the four of us, I was not impressed at all.
It's made me wary about booking any others. I'd book one in London or New York or Toronto though, as they would be professional static shows.
Well done everybody - keep buying....

But the show was good. First time I had been to a musical.
If I could have picked a talent to have, acting would be it. Looks fun...lol
Probably why my wife used to do it.

A lot of theatres aren't great space-wise, especially the older ones. I'm going to see Kinky Boots in June, but it's at my least favourite theatre in Toronto, the Royal Alex, which has tiny squidgy seats... My parents flat out refuse to see shows there for that reason. I'm dying to see Kinky Boots so I'm sucking it up... Glad you liked it though, Wicked is my all-time favourite, just saw it for the 6th time last year (4th city - 3x in London, 1x Toronto, 1x Ottawa, 1x Buffalo).

I would have seen Wicked earlier if I had known it existed, I don't follow shows for the most part, just happened to see it advertise on TV and decided to see it as I like most Wizard of Oz related stuff.
I am glad I did, it was a really enjoyable show.
