It was hell in Bridgeport, Ct. Even more so than usual.
The moment will be etched in my memory.
An email comes through the work network: Freebies. High School Musical: The Ice Tour. On the bulletin board.
Tickets can go fast. Thirsty Thursdays at the New Haven County Cutters, our then-unaffiliated and now defunct independent league baseball team, rarely made it to the cork board. Dollar beers will do that.
So I jumped. I grabbed eight, four for us and four for the out neighbors up the street, who somehow managed to figured out a graceful way to dodge the HSM bullet to the head.
Now for anyone unfamiliar with High School Musical, the only thing worse that Troy and Gabriella on TV is them on skates. Ethan was pumped. Tears streamed down Lillie's cheeks the whole time, the poor overwhelmed
girl who can't stand crowds. And then,
Hellejuaja........

The world-class skaters with the fake mikes started.............
