And now for something completely different...
Last concert I attended was Michael Buble in Detroit a couple of weeks ago. My wife is a big fan and she is losing mobility so I paid up for great seats. 5 hour drive each way, hotel and dinner, and the tix totaled about $2k. Worth every penny.
Before that I was with a bunch of Parrotheads at the Buffet, which was not worth the price but a fun evening. And the Stones halftime show during the XL Super Bowl was, like most Super Bowl halftime shows, disappointing.
Regularly attend Opera - also about a 90 minute drive to the closest theater, and now and then classical concerts. Have served on both orchestra and opera boards. Opera is great entertainment; I love taking folks in their 20s for a totally new experience for them.
Love a good musical - last I saw was Mama Mia. Want to see Book of Mormon, Jersey Boys and a few others. I try to see those when I’m in NYC or London.
Probably won’t do much more until my wife can really enjoy again. Those opportunities are fading.
