Second only to Pete Carroll’s really bad play call in the final seconds of last night’s Super Bowl is Left Shark.
He even has his own hashtag on Twitter.
Don’t know who #leftshark is? He was one of Katy Perry’s backup dancers. And his moves and killer costume earned him, in a matter of moments, his own Twitter account and social media stardom.
But just like his lesser lauded twin, Right Shark, I found Perry’s entire entourage a bit derivative.
There. I said it.
When I turned over to the half-time show, I thought I was watching a repeat of Pee Wee’s Playhouse.
Ya gotta admit — the stage show borrowed his color palette.
And #leftshark? I’m pretty sure his ancestor showed up on Saturday Night Live some 35 years ago.
You weren’t the only one who made a bad call last night.
Blue Christmas
Hey New York City jazz fans, a word of warning —
First, don’t buy bar seats. The club offers seats at tables and at the bar, and the marketing assures you that both choices offer a great view of the stage.
In reality, there are about 10 bar seats in total, and the Blue Note sells five times that many advance tickets. So most bar seat ticket holders are essentially Standing Room Only.
Second, don’t assume you are in like Flynn if you buy table seats. At tonight’s Christmas Eve performance, many table patrons with advance tickets were turned away because the Blue Note oversold the show.
On Christmas Eve. Are you kidding me?!
Third, whatever ticket you purchase, be at the club as soon as the doors open. That’s the only way to get any kind of seat.
Actually, my best piece of advice is to go somewhere else. That’s what we ended up doing.
Total. Holiday. Fail.
