So... I got back from Cohoes a week ago to a Broadway that was in the midst of a strike. Sad for me as I was planning on taking this week off from work to catch up on some shows. But even worse for the thousands of tourists that have descended upon Manhattan for the Thanksgiving vacation. They all look so sad walking around Times Square with "nothing to do". Hopefully a resolution will be reached this weekend and the shows will be up before the holiday....otherwise, the mall that I work at will be filled to the brim...Yikes! My union is in full support of the Stagehands. Solidarity in numbers. So last night, I ran into some friends at the the theatre where Spamalot is playing... and helped them picket! My first official picket! Not as exciting as I thought it would be. It was a bit cold. But with a hot chocolate from Starbucks in hand, I marched to support the cause! I can check that off my list now.
