C – Nothing but the best of the cheap seats for me. I’m loving my Kennedy Center membership. I’ve mentioned it previously and I’ve really taken full advantage of the perks, however it paid off big time over the weekend. The hot ticket in town was The 17th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and I was there.
A little slice of Hollywood in DC (note that the Kennedy Center conveniently already has red carpeting). Jimmy Fallon, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert Klein, Seth Meyers, Chelsea Handler, Wanda Sykes, Garth Brooks and Kristen Chenowith (I know I’m missing a few) all honored Leno with performances. It was like a comedy fest and, quite honestly, a little painful to laugh uninterrupted for 2 solid hours. But we had a blast. Members get first dibs on tickets so it was pretty much sold out before it went on sale to the public. So, if I haven’t said it enough, let me reiterate: the best $120 ever spent. Membership at the contributor level allowed me to get front row tier 2 seats for $85 each. Once regular seats were sold out, sponsorship packages started at $5k. So, there’s that.
