A great day in LA!

Lets start by saying that I am pretty much obsessed with RENT, the musical. I saw it 3 or 4 years ago and didn't really like it. I loved the music, but the musical didn't make sense to me. I watched the movie a couple years ago and I figured out the pieces I had missed the first time I saw the musical. So my obsession began. I listen to the CD over and over, watch the movie over and over, and have bought tickets to see it on stage the last 2 times it has come to town. 
Casey let me buy tickets again because Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp were reprising their roles and Roger and Mark! They were from the original Broadway cast and in the movie. Those two are so great in those roles! I saw Adam Pascal in Aida on Broadway like 8 years ago and have liked him ever since. 
Long story short, we saw RENT again today and it was definitely the best production out of the 3 times I have seen it! 

After the show ended, we went to Pink's. We had always wanted to try it, but had never gone! The line was wrapped around the building (as it always is), and we made bets about how long it would take to get to the front. Casey said 30 minutes and I said 40. Well, we were both wrong. It took an hour to get to the counter. 
Our hot dogs were delicious and the chili cheese fries were grub-tastic! I am definitely hurting now!
