The Wendy Williams Show FAIL + More (8/4)

So for future reference, if you request tickets for The Wendy Williams Show, just know that your admission is not guaranteed! They purposely overbook spots for the studio seating because a lot of people end up not showing up. But just my luck, the day that I decide to go damn near everyone who wanted to be in the audience came through. Recommended arrival time was 8:00 AM and I got there at ten minutes after. Seems as though the studio was already filled (holds about 120 people) by that time. 

The guest that day was Joan Rivers... 

basically I didn't miss much.

So I had no chance of seeing the queen of talk radio. What BS and waste of time! As an alternative for those who weren't admitted, there were VIP tickets for another show date. Here is the e-mail I received:

October?!!! GTFOH! Eff Wendy, I'd rather get my sleep.

I didn't let that ruin my day. I had some spare time so I went to check out the Sex & the City casting call. They were seeking fashion models, celebrity types, upscale socialites, urban club goers (I guess that's the nice way of saying black people?), and more characters. 

The line was insane and this was 

only a half-hour in from when it started.

Finally, I ended the day in East River Park for an outdoor play.

A modern adaptation of 

Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

This presentation put on by NYU Continuum Company was excellent. The actors and actresses were so committed to their roles and the cast of five effortlessly transitioned between multiple characters. I'm glad I was able to end the day on a better note!

I ran into the dude (on the right) in LES the next day 

and complimented him on a great performance.
