Yes, there was royalty at Michael's today, and Michael Gross and other people of great note, but still, we are grumpy. We can't seem to get a table any more on Wednesdays. Could someone please invite us to lunch, so we could sit at an actual table? We're seated at the bar each week because you VIP people (you know who you are) are taking up all the tables.
