Maybe George will stop with the burrito already and come back and make a few damn posts.

I actually had a Taco Bell Burrito Supreme for dinner after the show today!

[George]

PAGE SIX DANCE!!

[bk]

Is there gaslighting going on?

[bk]

See,

[George]

I'll be another ten minutes wrapping up the notes.

I'll do what I can do.

[George]

After the show, we have to go through the seats and pick up things like abandoned programs (but not trash) or things that patrons have left behind.

[George]

Several people left their travel cups that one must purchase (or already own) to be able to bring drinks into the theater.

[George]

They're like Sippy Cups for adults.

[George]

I know many other places have them, but here are the WCPA's:

[George]

The lids snap on and don't spill very much if tipped over.

[George]

Anyway, four, count 'em, FOUR were left just outside the level on the program stand after the show!

[George]

They cost $6 each in addition to the cost of the drink, and they don't want to keep the cups??

[George]

AND, if you bring them back for any refill (even sodas, and different performances), you get a dollar of the drink...then after six refills, you've paid for the cup!

[George]

I guess some people just have too much money.

[George]

So, the Center used to keep the found cups, wash and then resell them, unless they were noticeably distressed.

[George]

But, I guess they're not going to do that anymore.

[George]

I brought down the four cups that were used tonight and was told that I (or any other volunteer) could keep them, or they'd be thrown away.

[George]

I took one home.

[George]

[George]

Even though I already have several, I figured that I'll use it or give it away.

[George]

They shouldn't just be thrown away.

[George]

Another volunteer wanted two of them, and a third volunteer took the fourth, so they all went to good homes to be (thoroughly ) washed and reused!

[George]

I have several with different designs, even a couple of specialty cups that were only given away (at first ) at a Center fund raising gala.

[George]

It turns out that they ordered too many, so those specially designed cups were sold after the gala to get rid of them.

[bk]

New notes are up.

[bk]

Up are new notes.

[George]

Now, other places have their own travel cups like ours, and if patrons bring them, we'll put their drinks in them, but they only get the $1 discount if they're branded with "Washington Center for the Performing Arts."

[bk]

I've seen them.

[bk]

I've read them.

[George]

Up are new notes.

Whew!!
