Thursdays Aren't Just for "The Office" Anymore...

Anchorage nightlifers -- I take back everything I said about Thursday Night at the Fights being less than packed. I also take back whatever I said about trying to get a table seat on the sly with a general admission ticket. I circled the ring (on the outside, of course) at the Egan Center again last night, and the crowds were so large I had a hard time remembering where I was. Maybe it's the power of the press, maybe (and more likely) it's the normal upswing that occurs when something settles in for the winter. Either way, if you go this year, go early. And get your tickets online (www.ticketmaster.com).There's an additional $3 fee to get them at the door, and that'll buy you a bag of chips at the overpriced concession stand.

Tonight I'm off to see the Anchorage Opera's production of "Carmen," and I'm intrigued to see what it's all about. I've heard rumors that it's both grandiose and gruesome, so I'll try and be an unbiased judge. Let me know what's up with you this Friday night, Anchorage! And if anyone has any photos of themselves (or their friends) riding the mechanical bull at the Gaslight Lounge, send them to jbowman@adn.com.

Cheers!
