This post is going to appeal to circa five readers, but I couldn’t help but share my shock/awe/glee. Bear with me for a moment. As I was buying tickets to Roundabout Theatre‘s production of Bye Bye Birdie on BroadwayOffers.com just now, I noticed that the site is protected by McAfee Secure! MCAFEE.
Didn’t Harry MacAfee have a food and grain business or some such thing? What happened to that? Did the trauma of Conrad Birdie’s visit lead him to launch a security company?? Is that the sure-fire way to the respect he so desperately coveted from his family and society-at-large?
Well, I have entertained myself thoroughly with this. Of course I didn’t actually buy tickets yet, because there’s an $8.50 per ticket “service charge” online, groan, but I suppose I’ll call. I have to go for the sake of the blog, since Bye Bye Birdie is really just about a struggling record label’s publicity stunt.
