I jump out of a car, just in time to make it into a theater before the show starts. I tell the others in the car - I believe, my brother Steve and nephew Solomon - that I'll run in and get two adult tickets and one child ticket (in real life, Solomon is 16, hardly a child) and they can meet me in there.

Inside the lobby of the theater, there are a couple of people mingling around the counter. They don't really form a line, but I have to wait for them to finish their business, and I feel like it's a rush, the show is going to start in like two minutes. But then I realize I forgot a mask, and everyone else is wearing one. I pull my shirt up over my nose.
