Had each a sinful treat and went on our way. Walked around aimlessly for a bit and succumbed to 2 $10 Comedy Central taping tickets. VIP too... Was most cynically convinced that it was a street-side scam but we bought them anyway 'cause the lady was very convincing in her pitch. We're going on Sunday.</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Walking makes one very hungry. And the wind was blowing away all the calories from the cupcakes :) </div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">We then found ourselves tucked nicely in a corner at this cute little very all-American Diner called Stardust. Waiters and waitresses donned classic 50's outfits and hairdos and did renditions of Johnny Cash and June Carter duets on the bar top. My favorite moment was when one of the waitresses jumped up on the bar top and sang 'Popular' from Wicked. I was grinning like an idiot and singing along like a very bad and broken karaoke machine ( I have a sore throat, k :( ) It was a nice experience. </div><div style="text-align: center; ">The servers at Stardust are all working and struggling actors waiting for their big break on Broadway. They looked like they were having a ball. I wouldn't mind having a job like that, really. Singing your heart out on a bar top while an Asian chick sucks on a BBQ chicken wing in the corner. I wish them all the best. </div></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPHL_hUxYjfGRW4QJbABMz2h3D7mW_Nacwv-oahhypDgL7dAVq3O25kz4hnFCRf86xvH3yqIEo8qtifQ8k2wb6w6Nxg83CrTnRdp_GC0gv8Z-t92E5fC3q9eW1G_AdhXEZqVxSw3ir0IGr/s1600-h/2010-02-19+18.45.48.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPHL_hUxYjfGRW4QJbABMz2h3D7mW_Nacwv-oahhypDgL7dAVq3O25kz4hnFCRf86xvH3yqIEo8qtifQ8k2wb6w6Nxg83CrTnRdp_GC0gv8Z-t92E5fC3q9eW1G_AdhXEZqVxSw3ir0IGr/s320/2010-02-19+18.45.48.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440149945093707122" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; ">I would have taken more pictures had I brought along my 450D.
