On Broadway - Beautiful

We had one busy Thanksgiving Day. After we devoured all the thanksgiving goodies, we hopped the subway with Claire for a Broadway Musical she's involved with. The show "Beautiful" is all about Carole King's life and music. It was absolutely wonderful, dancing and singing were amazing. We walked up and down Broadway before the show started, the lights were enough to give you a seizure. The place was jam packed, even when we came out around 10:30. We waited over an hour for the "C" train, finally called Lexi and found out we could take an "A" train.....it was a late night for the Bumpkins.
Meanwhile, Lexi & Kevin had decided on braving the "Black Friday" (which actually starts on Thursday) crowds, in pursuit of a BIG screen 50 inch TV for only $200. They waited in line for 3 hours, over a block long in extremely cold weather. Once inside they found out all the TVs were gone. They saw people wheeling carts to the checkout with multiple TVs, even though it was only one to a customer. Lexi pleaded with some of the greedy people to let her have one, they said NO. Then she decided to tattle on them. She went back again to some guys who had 5 TVs, and started begging and whining for one. That's when an angry mob began to form around the greedys. Finally the guys relented and gave her one. Then a large woman started trying to yank the TV away from Lexi, but she held on. Not often you get to use your hunter gathering skills to get a TV.
