Yippeee!!
I'M GOING TO SEE (AND LISTEN) TO THE LA PHILHARMONIC PLAY RACH 3 OVER THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!!!I wasn't even sure I would be able to get tickets, but I decided to try for the stand-by choral bench seats since I'd a) at least I'd be there, and b) I'd get to see the conductor be all voidy, cause that's my favorite part, heh. I was to call the box office at 12 noon, then hope for the best.
I cheated and called at 11:55am, since I had gotten food from Frank and would be sitting outside for good reception. Everyone must have had the same idea, because the automated voice informed me that the wait time would be over 20 minutes long. Good thing I had gotten food then. I sat myself down and started with the mashed potatoes, listening to the unusually entertaining hold music from a whimsical musical that I didn't recognize. Five minutes into holding, the music was abruptly cut off. I checked my cell phone...still connected. Just...silence. I figured it wouldn't hurt to wait until the phone beeped at me. Or something.
I'm convinced now that they cut off the hold music on purpose, so that people would think they got disconnected and hang up. Why? Five minutes later, with no warning, a live operator was on the line. I was totally unprepared, with a mouth full of sushi. In order to talk properly, I had to spit it out, LOL. The things I do...
But I got TICKETS!! *dances*
