Alexander Hamilton

Sept. 26: 6:30 pm
New-York Historical Society
170 Central Park West
New York, NY 10024
(77th St.)

The Many Faces of Alexander Hamilton (pertinent excerpt from that description - for me anyway: "Three Hamilton scholars discuss his legacy, and consider why history has denied him the central place he occupied in his own time." I feel like standing and cheering. I will have to hold myself back while listening to these dudes lecture. Can you imagine? Me shouting out as though I'm at a gospel mass.

Lecture dude: "So Alexander Hamilton's experiences as a shipping clerk ---"
Sheila, shouting out: "AMEN."
Lecture dude: "He was extremely efficien---"
Sheila, shouting:"SPEAK THE TRUTH, BROTHER."

Etc.)

Seriously I just received my newsletter from the NYHS and my heart leapt up into my throat when I saw what was coming.

I bought tickets immediately.

I cannot wait.

You know Sheila, if I were there, I would have snatched up tickets as well.

Bretheren and sisters, let us read from the Book of Federalist.

Up in heaven, Hamilton is saying to Dino, "Obviously, you're just a fling, her heart will ALWAYS belong to me"

I think Archie Leach sits back watching all the other dudes duke it out - grinning from ear to ear - knowing that he NEVER has to fight for my attention.
