UPDATE: I kicked the Tonys' ass! Out of 27 categories, I got 21 totally right, and one half-right (who was expecting a tie in the Orchestrations category? not me!). So, with 21.5 out of 27, that's 79.6 percent - better than I've ever done at the Oscars. And my co-worker only got 35.2% (sorry, Brian, I can't give y ou credit for choosing Matthew Warchus, since you didn't pick which play you wanted him to win for... loopholes), so free lunch for me!I bet not many of you are planning on watching the Tonys tonight. But, I'm in an office pool, and the loser buys lunch, so here it goes:

IT'S ON!!!
So I had a plan to sneak into the Tony's because, you know, I'm in New York. But, then I realized I wouldn't be back from Boston in time to pull it off. So instead of sneaking in, I sat in the event traffic in a cab trying to get home.
ReplyDeleteAwesome
In sports pool competition, we would say you used a "service"...Time Out New York. So share the credit for your success with them and eat a lite lunch.
ReplyDeleteDude, an old friend and West Side Story castmate of mine was one of the Frankie Vallis that performed!! Had no idea... Woohoo! Love it when peoples' dreams come true on live television!!
ReplyDeleteGood thing I stumbled across the broadcast right before the end.
I scored 100% on my prediction that Brett Michaels would get brained by a set piece.
