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.

Having the Time to Save Money by Buying Tickets at the Box Office

About 7 years ago in this journal, I suggested that one can save money by going to a box office to buy tickets instead of buying them online and paying a stiff fee. Since I am now retired, I have the time to do that. I took the subway to Manhattan and bought tickets at the Longacre Theater for A Bronx Tale. From there I walked downtown to Madison Square Garden and bought tickets for two college basketball games. I probably saved at least $50 in fees. The only bad thing was having to walk through Penn Station and pass by the panhandlers.
