I have been wanting to see Wicked for months now. They are showing at the Pantages. Ever since the phenomena swept over Los Angeles. My sister really wanted to see it too. So we figured this weekend would be perfect. For every showing of Wicked they do a raffle 2 and half hours before the performance. You go in put in your name and about 26 names are called and if you win for $25 buckaroonies you get to sit in orchestra seats which usually sell for over 100 dollars. So my sister and I decided to give it a shot we went in early and gave our names. There were people there who had seen the show over 6 times that was insane. They called the first name and it wasn't ours. So I turned to Nora and said if we don't win we will come back the next weekend. Then the guy pulled another name, he stumbled on the name so I assumed it must be mine cause it is so hard to pronounce. It turned to be Nora's name and we won tickets! !!! It was funny too cause from the beginning I told Nora they are going to call your name. We went to watch the show and we were in row A that means front row..the first row. It was crazy. Being up there you feel like you are part of the show and the excitement. We both loved the show!It was a beautiful story about how people should be loved for who they are and sometimes all of us are a little misunderstood! I recommend this show and I hope to see it before May again before it goes off stage.
Well I was not right about my surprise from Vicken but it was what I wanted. I have been wanting to go to CRAFT for months now and finally I got the chance. Vicken took me for my birthday and I had a true Top Chef experience (I am a big fan of the show). We had amuse bouche (a tiny bite size piece of food served before courses to amuse the mouth). We had porkj belly I had always seen it on the show but wanted to taste...it was good kind of like bacon and meat in one. Of course Vicken had the steak and I had braised pork (which was really good). What I loved about the experience was every course is served it's like eating at a friends house you get to share all your meals. It was cool. We had fun and it was quite yummy. Would recommend this spot for sure!
