I got a Dali ticket!I'm going to the Salvador Dali retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art tonight! Oh, I'm so incredibly excited...it's been completely sold out and tickets are absolutely impossible to find. For example: on eBay, several pairs of tickets (that's right, just 2 tickets) are currently up to $182.50 and $162.50, respectively ( Read more... )

I think I might have just scored a ticket to the Dali show (completely sold out and people are casting about madly for ones to buy) but I'm holding my breath and not jinxing it until I actually have the paper object in my hand. I will happily pay $25 to get to see this show.

The other two people who have been working on it with me have already finished and posted their photos. I'm falling behind...the Triumverate must stand tall and strong ( Read more... )

I just had a mini-yard sale in the hall right outside my apartment. I advertised in the building and on Craig's List, and it was great! I can't believe I never thought of this before. About 10 people came, which meant that only serious buyers came, and I didn't have to keep a hawk-eye on random people the way I would have to if I did it on the ( Read more... )

For four years now, I've had a cardboard box languishing in the corner of my life, filled with over eighty classical opera records. I acquired them when my college's music department converted to CD and cleared out all its old records. At the time, I didn't own a record player, but I felt confident that I would soon buy one and then be able to ( Read more... )
