Anyhow, he paid $4800 for the tickets and that of course doesn’t include plane tickets and hotel, etc. They don’t fly coach or stay at Holiday Inn, fwiw. If you knew his wife, it would be worth $8k or whatever to get rid of her for a weekend but that’s another story.

As for what she does for the economy of the places that she plays, it’s insane. I think about…if you’re a parent, you’re generally thrilled if your kids turn out happy and healthy. Imagine being TS’s parents…I can’t.
Apparently TS’s mom was at the show and my niece did meet her.
