Now, here's how stupid I was.
Off the plane ticket.
Nope.
So now I'm on a plane.
I was reading The New Yorker.
And there was an ad for the Algonquin Hotel, which all the witty people would gather and exchange.
And I thought, well, that's interesting.
So it was raining, and I love rain when it's good, not torrential.
And I walked with my cardboard suitcase to the Algonquin, checked in, $9 a day.
I thought for a week, $9 a day.
I thought, oh, my God.
Anyway.
But you're loaded.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I had left maybe about $500 because of the plane.
Uh-huh.
So I got up to the room and I thought, what am I going to do?
I had one phone number.
It was from a girl who had been in the South Pacific scene.
She was a year ahead of me.
