This time it is literally true. It is not over until the fat lady sings! It's election night and the Ordway theatre has a special ticket deal to draw in customers; A $110 ticket to the opera is selling for $20. The Guthrie has also deeply discounted ticket prices tonight. Local theatres report only about 1/3 capacity of patrons. People vote then huddle up to the TV to watch election results. Some go to bars to celebrate or commisserate. Those who plan ahead to vote early in the day could have a cheap date tonight.
Our son is going to a Bob Dylan concert tonight with his girl friend and her parents. Dylan crosses generations and the dad is treating. He will play a concert at Northrup Auditorium on the U of MN campus. This is the first time Dylan has played on campus since he was a dropout student in the early sixties. The news reported that this concert sold out immediately. No fat ladies singing here. Also no beer as it is election day. The concert will start at 8pm when the polls close. That's the law.
While seeing a Bob Dylan concert would appeal to me, we seldom go to anything that starts that late these cold, dark months. It is dark but fortunately not too cold. Hit 74 yesterday with sunny skies. I'm staying in. Maybe I'll just stay home and do my own fat lady singing thing. And watch election results on TV.....and possibly cry in my beer.
