A Conversation With Marcel Vergel de Dios
- Nate, I feel you on the capitalizing on someone's death issue.  I'm behind you on that.
- Yeah, I know.  Out of all the tickets sold, they're only giving the family $700.  I mean it's better than nothing but still...
- I don't know Abraham or Tri-school.  But it goes back to the Bible story, about the rich guy and the poor woman.  The rich guy gave all that money and the poor woman gave what she had.  It's not the value.
- It's the principle of the matter.
-Exactly.  And if you wanted to send the proceeds to his family, how about putting everynight on for this dude, not just Thursday.  It should be all days.
- Yeah, because Thursday is the day when nobody goes and they need people showing up.
- I know things have costs and people need money, but come on, the cost of death is priceless.
- Yeah, seriously dude.
- I think they should be like, "Fuck the money.  Let's perform in memory of our homie."
- Well, I understand that you have to keep some of the money because you have to keep the theatre running and shit.
- All you go to a private school.  Don't tell me you can't afford to help out another family.  And that's what I mean.  How much money does a theatre really need anyway?
- Honestly, the collection for Abraham was the only collection that I ever put money in.
- Because it's a good cause.
Marc is in Red.  Nate is in Blue.
I'd like to thank Marc for his views on the matter.  He knew nothing of the death or of the theatre, but he still believed that capitalizing on it is a sick, sick thing, just as I do.
