National Treasure

When we lived in Louisiana, Andy and I saw Bob Dylan five times. For none of these tickets...one of which we were on like the tenth row, did we pay more than $50. Now all of a sudden Bob Dylan has turned into some sort of national treasure and the ticket prices have gone through the freaking roof. The new album has done really well, there was his autobiography Chronicles Vol. 1, the Scorcese documentary, an exhibit at the Morgan Library, all of this exposure amounts to prohibitive ticket prices. I think I should get some sort of credit for being a huge Dylan fan before it suddenly became fashionable again. He's playing one show in the city and the cheapest tickets are $89. There are two shows outside of the city, the cheapest seats $40 for third ring tickets in an arena. I'm used to seeing him in small theatres...so annoying! I know he did the minor league baseball stadium tour but the closest place he came to us was some town small town in upstate New York that was unreachable by train. Needless to say, I will not be seeing Dylan on this tour.

To respond to the comment on the previous post, yes The Office is the best show on television. Andy and I rewatched Thursday's episode last night...I think I laughed even harder this time around. If you don't find this show funny I have serious doubts about your sense of humor.
