- Friends of the Boston’s Homeless Benefit at Avalon: $20
- coatcheck, 2 coats: $6 (+$1 tip)
- Two drinks, $14 (+$2 tip)
- Winning the silent auction for two tickets to Swan Lake: $140 (anything to avoid ticketmaster charges)
- Taking in Jonathan Soroff’s presence for 5 minutes, for the second time in a week: cliche.
Next time we’ll show up early. Jamie and I missed the dinner (which only would have set us back another $30), missed the Mayor, missed meeting any new people, and missed much of Kendrick Oliver’s band playing– they played one song in the third set. The crowd really thinned out after the dinner; I haver never seen Avalon so empty. And once again, I get that feeling of winning a fundraising contest in weak competition. It would have been nice to learn more about the organizations my money went to. I hope I have the courage to look a homeless person in the face now.
