[atlantaprog] Let us ride to Camelot!

On Sunday my wife and I are flying to New York City for Spring Break.

I've never heard of anybody going to New York City for Spring Break, so I thought it would be a novel idea.

On Tuesday night, April 5, we will attend a performance of "Spamalot", the new musical written by Eric Idle and based on his film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" from 1974. The new musical stars Tim Curry, Hank Azaria, David Hyde Pierce and a cast of thousands.

I also have three friends from high school here in Atlanta who are now living and working in New York. One's a drama teacher and theater director, the other's a jazz drummer who plays in Broadway pit orchestras, and the other sings in the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera Company. I hope to meet up with each of them and have them show us around town.

I understand CBGB's is about to lose their lease so I might go by and buy a T-shirt.

Neither my wife nor I have ever really seen New York; I've just passed through a couple of times, although I did get to go to the top of the World Trade Center in 1981 during a train station layover on my way to Boston.
