Tickets, please
From the one and only time I saw History's Greatest Rock Band in concert:
I was very lucky because the mother of the friend I went with was the secretary for some local bigwig - either Ruly Carpenter or somebody like that - and he would lend the family his superbox (or whatever they called it then - i.e. premium seating) now and then.

Bag 'o the Day
Today's BotD has a very appealing print by Charles Gesmar, who was a well-known poster artist in the 1910s and 1920s, most notably for his posters advertising Mistinguett, the one-time 'Queen of the Paris Music Hall.'
For the listing I named them Annie and Susie, but maybe I should have gone with Melisand and Fifi.
Or you could name them yourself!
Keywords for your interest and edification: Charles Gesmar print tote bag, Charles Gesmar print bag
