Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, do you get to keep your music?

No. Unless I xeroxed it, which would violate copyright, and would also only give me the vocal parts, and then blocks of time when the orchestra's playing.

Where and when is this performance? Dare I hope it's not completely sold out already?

July 1 and 2, and it's not sold out yet. Furthermore, if you give me a little bit of time to figure out how it works, I can get you a 20% discount on tickets.

I'm sure they'll release a CD of one of the performances, at some point, although god knows what city.

And I found out that Howard Shore isn't conducting ours. Sniff. Oh, well.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So it's a good thing that local libraries have subscription season passes.

And how would an out-of-state, er, tourist get one of these?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hm. Probably by getting a local resident with a library card to hosey the pass for you. Preferably, way far in advance, since weekend days are hugely popular and it tends to be first come, first served in the hoseying department.

(Also I don't think the pass gets you in free any more, only discounted; but I don't know for sure.)

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

That would be great. I just was trying to find the concert tickets on ticketmaster and it gave me no love at all.

*kicks computer*

I'm taking vacation that week to move, but hopefully I'll be able to take a break at that point for Houston. I will certainly need it at that point.

It's available at Ticketmaster, but it's also available through the Jones Hall box office, and you won't get charged fees up the ass like Ticketmaster. Plus, discount. I think you should just be able to give them my name, but I'll let you know once I've figured out the process.

Thanks, Dana. I haven't been to Houston often, but it's not too long a drive, and I'd love to hear this concert.

Hey, Astarte, I'm now acquainted with the woman at the box office, so when you figure out your plans, let me know. You can give me a credit card that I can put the ticket on, or we can work something out, or whatever.

Prices:
$55 - Orchestra A-S, Box Seats, Grand Tier (first balcony, front)
$40 - Orchestra T-FF, Mezzanine (first balcony, rear)
$30 - Balcony (second balcony)

Those do not include the 20% discount or the $2.75 per ticket fee.

Drop me an e-mail at the profile addy.

We need a concert in northern California or the central coast, preferably around Christmas, so I can go visit family and strong-arm them into a concert too. 'Cause the odds of there being a concert anywhere near where I live are one in a very big number.

Thank you, Dana. I'll look at my calendar and post to you as soon as I can.

Squeeeeee!!!!!!
