You will never have me.
  • "You will never have me."
If you bought tickets to see Al Pacino at the Paramount on June 11, well, tough shit. But hey, he enjoys us! Always!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: SEATTLE, Wednesday, May 4, 2011 - Seattle Theatre Group (STG) in association with the 37th Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) will cancel the rare Al Pacino appearance, Pacino: One Night Only.

Due to the conflict with the Tony Award Ceremony STG and Al Pacino announce a cancellation of his appearance at The Paramount Theatre on June 11. "I hope to make it back to Seattle," said Pacino. "it's a city I've always enjoyed."

Thanks, Canuck. They must have known when they booked him that the Tonys were quite likely, given how his Shylock went over. Though I'm a bit relieved. I always get embarrassed by how much I enjoy nonsense like this. Plus, I've still got tix to the Ewan McGregor event.

First George Lopez cancels, and now Pacino too?! If the United Way Breakfast bails on the Paramount, then I'm just giving up.

@5: Not "slightly" stale. He likes his cake to be just shy of granite. As in, days in the open air. Up to a week. Seriously.

gus, the thought crossed my mind. The only thing that restrains me is the possibility of getting Slog-banned for life...

Pacino has to go in for some botox on the forehead, under the eyes, and above the lip before he hits the Tony Awards stage.
