Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Visit a Ticket Booth and Save Money

When you buy tickets for a show or sporting event online there is always a hefty fee for Ticketmaster or Telecharge or similar service. I guess when you do that you are paying for the convenience of buying tickets from the luxury of your own home. Sometimes, you have to do it that way, but whenever I can I like to buy tickets at the box office to save money. I didn't have to be at work until 12 noon today, so I stopped at the Imperial Theater on West 45th Street to buy tickets for Billy Elliot for the end of March. From there I walked down to buy tickets for St. Johns against Pittsburgh basketball in February. This trip saved me about $50.
