I originally was writing this based on a report of what we we doing on a day by day basis. But after an amazing day full of human experiences more than just seeing things we have been lucky enough to experience this city and it’s people. So it may no longer be chronological but more serve as a peek to the side of New York that we are lucky to enjoy. It’s funny because we are here with a mission and wiling to share it so often start up conversations which prompt people to tell us about their experiences with cancer etc. The locals are especially friendly and ready to strike up a conversation.
Last night we went to an off broadway performance with comedian Brad Zimmerman, who Laurie had seen a few weeks ago in Thousand Oaks and wanted to have all of us see. It was in tiny theater near Times Square. Waiting in line we overheard one of the patrons claim “This place is a fire trap!” It was a bit small with only one exit but….we had great seats….the table right in front next to the very small stage. The show was entitled “My son the Waiter – A Jewish Tragedy”. The show was hilarious And the intimacy of the small “firetrap” made for a unique and personal experience especially with the addition of his new straight man…Lisa! After the show, because of the way we move through this town…Brad came out to talk to us about why we were here in New York. He wanted to know about the walk and how much we had raised. He sat with us for quite some time and we took a picture which we emailed him for his website. His show is funny and heartfelt … Just about life. He’s planning on being in Huntington Beach in February, but is truly hoping he can’t because he may get a shots on Broadway. We wish him well.
