June 6, a group called Aid for AIDS is hosting a fund-raising Tony Awards Party in Los Angeles. While I'm sure it's a good cause, I'm a bit baffled by the sales pitch. A full-page ad that keeps appearing in Variety makes the same claim they make on their website: "The Only Place on the West Coast to See The Tony Awards Broadcast Live via Satellite from New York."
Uh, the only place not counting my house. Or the home of almost anyone in California, Oregon or Washington who owns a satellite dish.
Do they really think no one else can watch the broadcast live out here? Or am I missing some subtle nuance in their ad line?
