Glad you figured it out, even if the solution was ridiculously complicated.

Good thinking. Here's a tracphone for $4.99. Then they would have to buy a no-contract plan, which is about $25, and they would have a US smartphone they could use. I think they'd need to buy it with a US address and have it shipped, but I suspect there are people here who would be willing to help. https://shop.tracfone.com/shop/en/tracfonestore/salpf/tf-tcl-a1-a501dl-reconditioned?colorId=344502&gclid=CjwKCAjwn6GGBhADEiwAruUcKqjCDwCPdf65lhUxcioVIjSiSQRh5KEfg7uO3XVdmJG-LxicTQeMWBoCYzAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

The latest on Christian Eriksen is that he had a cardiac arrest and was “gone” before he was revived with the defibrillator. He’’s currently in stable condition. Horrible incident, but he’s a lucky man. https://www.espn.com/soccer/denmark-den/story/4407267/denmarks-christian-eriksen-gone-before-cardiac-resuscitation-team-doctor

The prices for this show are way too high. Other Broadway shows can justify their high prices somewhat because they have huge casts, with a lot of expensive costumes, complicated choreography, multiple set changes, lots of makeup, etc. They have to pay all those costume designers, choreographers, musicians, makeup artists, set designers, and all the cast members. Most Broadway musicals need several months of rehearsals in the theatre before they are ready to open to the public. All of that costs money, which is translated into high ticket prices. Bruce is a one man show, with no orchestr

I wasn’t home when tickets went on sale, but I just checked now (3:30pm ET), and there are tickets still available for all nights. The lowest price I saw was $300 for a single ticket.

God I used to love those Schaefer concerts in Central Park. That is a blast from the past for sure. I saw so many shows there, but not the Bruce one.

Not much this week. My beasts are not fond of this heat.

Nah. But I’m still taking credit for my prediction if it comes true.

Oh I am so tempted to merge your thread into this one.

I’ll start a rumor here. Pure speculation on my part. New York City is planning a mega concert in Central Park on August 21 to celebrate the reopening of the city. The promoter has worked with Bruce in the past. He says he is booking huge acts. I just looked at the dates for SOB. There are no shows between Aug 20 and Aug 24 My prediction (which as I said is pure speculation) is that Bruce will perform at the Central Park concert on Aug 21. You heard it here first. Here’s an article about the concert in Central Park: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/07/arts/music/postcov

I’m sorry for your loss.

Just perfect, Rachel.

Watch it, Daisey! She’s so happy, it will bring a smile to your face, along with a tear.

Happy birthday Karsten! Have a great day!

I also have seen pretty much everything I’ve wanted to see through the years. The one I’d love to hear again is The Fever. I heard it in 1978, and then I didn’t hear it again until 1999 in Philly. I guess I only get that song every 21 years or so. I think it’s due to pop up again at my next show.
