Let the sunshine in, man.

There are a few things I don't like about snowstorms in New York City: it's cold. Everything slows down--the sidewalks, the subways, your commute to work. The snow turns black the next day. And it will eventually melt into gigantic and oftentimes unavoidable puddles of water at most street corners. (Heaven help the poor soul who's nearby when a taxi or bus gets too close to the curb!)

But here's one thing I do like: winter storms mean that some Broadway shows will offer discounted prices to entice people to come in and fill up their now-vacated seats. So last Friday during our latest snowfall, I decided to work late, then head a few blocks down to get tickets to see "Hair"--a steal at $40 (and how did I know about it? Twitter. If you're not on, sign up ASAP. It's like magic). (And P.S. Follow me at @amyheartsny).

I had never seen the show before, and ended up being pleasantly surprised (who knew that "Let the Sunshine In" was actually a poignant, mournful song?). True to my inner theater geek, I've now listened to the soundtrack about seventeen times and have pretty much memorized every song. Which means that I'm all love and peace and Hare Krishna and everything today. And also not shaving my legs. (At least not until Tuesday.)

Here are some little goodies inspired by my last-minute theater outing. Because I totally love you, man. Peace.
