A friend with a birthday is a good friend indeed. A friend with two tickets to Fela on her birthday is a good friend... take heed! To get a free ticket to a Broadway show it’s crucial to be a cold, callous networking machine. You have to take your coworker under your wing, make her your comrade and milk her for tickets on her special day. Or you can just be in the right place at the right time. Like the time I was friends with my coworker and her boyfriend couldn’t make it to the show for which he bought two tickets. And that’s how it’s done.

Did you know that you can get free drinks when you are performing at a venue which sells them? Yes. But did you also know that sometimes you can get hot alcoholic drinks, like apple cider with whiskey and a cinnamon stick? Did you know that it comes in a mug? That it might have cost you something like $6, maybe more? Did you know that other free drinkers (having had performed) can drink beer, rum and cokes and cider, as well? All these free, disparate drinks can yours! All you have to do is perform at a bar with a bartender who honors your commitment to entertainment.
