Peter Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks Ed. Those are great links$100 for a Atlas Society contributer, $250 per ticket for a non contributer, and $500 for admission to the whole shebang, including sipping cocktails with the stars is quite decent. A few years ago I got some third row Vegas tickets for my daughter and her husband to see Barry Manilow and they were $250 each if I remember correctly.What's the weather forcast for December in New York City?Semper cogitans fidele,Peter Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might snow. It might rain. There will definitely not be any Jap Zeros in the air as us vicious racist Americans defeated them by 1945 and pretty much ended the production of fighters from the Japanese.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he Japanese, or just an occupying invader?I lived in Sasebo, Japan, for about seven months, in 1966, and the only time I ran into hatred was with a man who lost relatives in Nagasaki ran into me in a bar, where I was drinking Kirin, which must be the saltiest beer in the Japanese Empire.He said, "I hate you!" Other than that, they were quite pleasant.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GALTGULCH8 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Cost of admission is exorbitant.I will wait until the movie is shown in theaters and hope for a DVD.While I am hoping, I have always imagined the movie version starting as it does in the book. In particular I hope we meet Dagny as we do in the train scene. It was good enough for Ayn Rand.Do hope this is successful and that the subsequent parts of the trilogy exceed expectations, especially for those of us who are lovers of the book.gulch Edited October 21, 2010 by gulch8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9thdoctor Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Cost of admission is exorbitant.I would imagine the event will be quite exclusive.Oh come on, people! Cocktail reception, as in open bar? Well, one hopes it’s an open bar…Think of it like a wedding reception, you have to drop some cash on a gift, right? Good chance there’ll be memorabilia, door prizes, T-shirts or something…they're going to make it worth your while, don't you think? Now why they had to pick December 7, the feast day of St. Ambrose, I mean don’t they know that’s opening night at La Scala? Just try getting a ticket for that.http://www.teatroallascala.org/it/stagioni/2010_2011/opera-e-balletto/die_walkuere.htmlWow, look at that cast. Haven't heard of the tenor though.

kiaer.ts Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) God, you are an asshole, Bob.That was uncalled for. It is a perfectly reasonable question.Got your attention?Unless I have missed the thread, Bob, everything you produce, quibble, contradiction, and complaint, is in some way black and smells bad. A reasonable question, you say? Based on what niggardly premise? You do not think that your insulting response to a congratulatory remark was uncalled for? You do not have to be miserable, but I have seen very few people (otherwise worth reading) who work at it so hard in public as you do.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Ted,You should have seen Bob when he showed up.His idea of settling an issue like the Middle East problem was to nuke entire cities, kill off the survivors and their bloodlines, then bomb the rubble.People regularly called him things like asshole back then.But he has found a place here on OL where his good side blossoms. And if you look past the quirky Aspie form of expression, you will find a heart the size of the continental USA.People have stopped calling him names, I believe, because they have seen this transformation and this allowed them to see what a really good person he is underneath. I know I would trust him with my kids.Give it a chance. Bob rocks.He has a wonderful mind.All you have to do is want to see it and you do because it's there.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reasonable question, you say? Based on what niggardly premise? Based on the niggardly premise that errors should be corrected. You know how it is. True is better than False and stuff like that. When a conclusion is made the logic or evidence leading to it should be made plain. Unfounded assumptions should be clearly labeled unfounded. That sort of thing.Hans Christian Anderson wrote a story about me. It is entitled -The Emperor and His New Clothes-. I was, I am and I will be as long as I live, the little boy of that story.And please feel free to call me out on the same sort of errors that I call others out on.

One of the two weavers?Do you enjoy Peter Pan too? I love that one but see my more of a Captain Hook.Anyway, even if the film isn't any good, what is a $100 to a prime mover? Pocket change.
