Today is the 180th day of 2009. There are 185 days left in the year.

Hey - does anyone have a way of getting comp (or discount) tickets to go see CDA Summer Theatre's production of “The Producers”? I looked online and they're $40 a pop - a little spendy for Spazz and I since we just paid for our commitment ceremony. (Photos coming soon!)
Any leads or assitance would be appreciated!

Digger,

Get NetFlix and the problem is solved!
