On Thursday, we...
shopped around Midtown
saw lots of cool stores but didn't buy anything
met Klane for lunch at Goodburger ("home of the goodburger"). It was delicious.
(did anyone else watch Kenan and Kel as a kid?)
grabbed a raspberry chocolate curl cupcake from Crumbs, then headed to Times Square where we planned on waiting in the Tkts line to get cheap tickets to Phantom of the Opera for that night. It was such a great plan in theory...

We just didn't count on the torrential downpour we got caught in... without umbrellas. I sprinted through Times Square through the sheets of rain to buy overpriced umbrellas at Walgreens. But alas, I was too late, and by the time I got back to Mike and Sara, we were all thoroughly soaked.
And now let me tell you a story about the Tkts booth. On Wednesday we went to the box office to see what the cheapest tickets available were for Phantom on Thursday night. The cheapesst available were $66. We assumed that we could get them for way cheaper at the Tkts booth. I mean, obviously if people wait for hours in that line, it must be a dang good discount, right? Right...?
So, we waited in line for two hours on Thursday, only to get to the front of the line and find out that the 30% off tickets they had, still cost $96!! What the heck is the point of a discount ticket booth if they only sell the most expensive seats at a discount?! I wish we had known this before getting drenched and waiting for two hours. We ended up leaving defeated and empty-handed, and went to the box office - again. Sara and I got tickets to the show for $86 a piece, and our seats ended up being on the 7th row, in the middle.
In the end, we still had fun and it was mostly a funny experience waiting in line in the rain. Especially when we got the cupcake out and the bag was all soggy. Luckily the cupcake survived, and was delicious. And Sara and I had a fun girls night out at Phantom of the Opera. The play was great!
