Sex and the City

Of course I had to see the movie after being one of those thousands of women who watched the HBO series. Not wanting to miss the opening weekend, I went early to The Grove to pick up a ticket and found myself in line with dozens of other eager ladies. Upon requesting one ticket for 8:15 PM, the darling young clerk said, “Would you like a senior ticket? Some people are afraid to ask.” Being closest in age to the character of Samantha, I tried to imagine the look on her face to such a query. Would she have rebuffed the offer, with “How dare you?” or pay $7.75 and figure she just put one over on Arclight Management. I laughed all the way to the nearest barstool and a dirty martini for a pre-show toast with the girls. http://www.hbo.com/city
