Selfie Saturday in Pitman!

Mama Rose is a fan of Sal Valentinetti (from America's Got Talent) and so when she saw a few months back that he would be performing at a theatre in South Joisey tonight, she snapped up tickets for her, myself, and Terri. Valentinetti has a very nice voice and the crowd loved him, but I thought some of his jokes were in poor taste. He kind of trash talked Californians, made light of the MeToo movement, claimed that Italians "discovered" America and said something lame like "they (the Native Americans) said How and we told them Here's how" (ugh, eye roll!), then he went and praised Geno's Steaks and about how he, like Geno's, speaks English. How embarrassing that the crowd cheered. (No surprise that they were all white.) Mama and I just looked at eachother with our mouths open in shock. I thought "did this clown seriously say that?" Yup. He did. I guess he's your typical knucklehead boy who doesn't realise that racism is so one hundred and fifty-four years ago. For me, the best part of the night was hanging out with these lovely gals and taking silly selfies. Oh, and up the street from the theatre was a fab pizza place (Attilio's) that offered gluten free pizza crust, vegan cheese (!!), and was being run by a crew of teenagers and early twenty-somethings that were genuinely kind and helpful. I wanted to adopt all of them.
