Conspiracy theory
We were supposed to see David Sedaris last night, but it was postponed. I'm a little upset about how the Civic Center handled it, too. When we walked in the building at appx. 7:15, it was still scheduled to go on at 7:30 so we decided against beverages. Then a few minutes later, they announced that it was delayed until 8:00. We decided beverages sounded like a nifty idea. Coming up on 7:45, they announce that the show would be postponed because his plane couldn't get in from Detroit. I'm sorry, but you didn't know that until 7:45? 15 minutes before the show was supposed to go on? I don't think so. Not to mention that the second we were told it was cancelled, they also told us the reschedule date in the same breath. Meaning SOMEONE knew that it would be cancelled AND was able to take the time to firm up the reschedule date BEFORE they told us. Bryan thinks it was a "concessions decision." Meaning, "let the concession stand get as much money out of these people as they can before we tell them David won't be here." I'm inclined to agree. Not that the drinks were overpriced though - $3.50 for Bryan's whiskey old-fashioned sweet and $3.50 for my zinfandel, which is pretty much what you'd pay almost anywhere in Madison, if not more, but that's not the point. They HAD to have known well before 7:45 that he wasn't going to be able to make it. So we spent 16 bucks for nothing ($7 for the drinks, $3 for parking, probably about $6 in gas), and it totally could have been avoided.
