(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.
