You see, Lainie, this is all we need. . .couple of smokes, a cup of coffee. . .and a little bit of conversation. You and me and five bucks.
If you hear me speaking in an Australian 🇦🇺 dialect and there are no other Australians around, I am either extremely uncomfortable in the situation or tipsy. You can decide which. Both (or maybe all three) situations will occur some time in the next week. – at Queens, NY
In the past decade that I’ve worked for this man, my craft has improved in ways that I could never imagine. Word of advice - find a leader that will support all of the bad ideas knowing the good idea is coming. – at Queens, NY
With great sadness, we announce the loss of Todd Haimes, who led Roundabout since 1983 with kindness and brilliance. We share our deep sympathy with his family. We will devote our hearts to ensuring Roundabout continues to serve the love of theatre he instilled in us all.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 15 years, since 30 Jan 2008 (via @twi_age).
Not going anywhere, but giving Mastodon a try. If you live over there too, follow me at @gabejohnson@urbanists.social.
Bags are packed and I’m headed to @TixProf Sydney. I’m excited to reconnect, make new connections, and see what’s happening in Australia. Thanks @angel_antix for being an amazing host. @MGammeltoft and @TicketTattle I’ll see you soon. #ticketing #bigideas #tixprofau #liveevents – at Queens, NY
This wasn’t the news I wanted to hear. It really felt like this would be around forever. I have seen the production all over the world but never at the Majestic. So before February 18 I’ll be headed back to the Paris Opera House one more time.
When I visit #Cincinnati there are few things that I feel like I have to accomplish. Sneaking off to indulge in cheese coneys is always on my must-do list. So thanks to @Skyline_Chili and @goldstarchili for always being there to feed this habit. Another successful visit!
Wow! The past week at #TLCC2022 has been the most mentally fulfilling experience that I’ve had since 2020. Thanks to Marisa Perry for reminding me to reevaluate the priorities for my career and life. And special thanks to @erinkoppel3 for always pushing me to make it bigger.

One of the best lines I’ve ever read in an OOO email, courtesy of one that I just received: “If this is urgent, take a deep breath because few things really are.” THAT energy.
If your job posting contains the line "able to come to work promptly and regularly" you may want to reconsider your priorities in this current work market or the culture you've created that would require that to be a qualification. #micromanagement #artsandculture

tl;dr:
Win by doing these things with Gen X:
1) Say "Do it your way"
2) Use well-written emails
3) Say "I got it!"
4) Focus on the mission w/ them
5) Allow life balance
6) Bond as people
7) Be direct
8) Acknowledge they exist
9) Expect pessimism
10) Expect work-life separation
Time to see if jet lag takes me down after two years of no international travel. Be sure to check out my conversation with @MLZarracina on adoption of digital ticketing on Friday at #tpc2022 to see if anything I say actually makes sense. See you soon #Birmingham!
C'mon @nkuedu! Maybe I'm sensitive to this because it's what I do every day, but how did the same typo make it through the proofing process for two emails within 72 hours? As a side note, if you call it an offer you can limit brand devaluation.
I’m excited to spend 3 days in Birmingham this March with more than 450 of my favorite people at #TPC2022. The @ticketingprofs team has put together an impressive lineup of content (ticketingprofessionals.co.uk…) and I can’t wait to dig in. (1/2)
I’m particularly looking forward to chatting with my friend @MLZarracina about the launch of digital tickets for @roundaboutnyc, what we learned, and how we adapt for the future. Please feel free to swing by on Friday and listen in. #digital #tickets #broadway #theatre (2/2)

and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much
Excited to make the trek to Birmingham next month for my first Ticketing Professionals Conference. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and making new connections. #TPC2022
It's out there - #TPC2022 's Schedule is now live on the website. Massive thanks to all who worked on building such a great set of sessions and / or agreeing to speak. Only 5 weeks to go! ticketingprofessionals.co.uk…
