Engagement Party

A good time was had by ALL at the engagement party held for erin and I last week (pics). Champagne and cocktails started it off, followed by a big hunk of meat and a musical chairs 3 course dinner. A little bit of vino helped the talky-talk. I was given about a 5 minute heads up that I had to talk, so that was fun. Kudos to erin's folks for making it all happen. Off to Vegas tomorrow. I've already had to hear erin say 'Vegas baby Vegas'. I was hoping not to have that happen. I am attempting to put a ban on all Swingers references during the trip.

Bruce

Tickets to the Bruce are now mine. I think they are pretty good but the layout for the Sports Coliseum are not that detailed. I had 2 browsers open to speed up the refresh time so I could quickly grab tickets when they became available. I was working off the laptop so I was a bit slower without a mouse. I nabbed a good pair with IE first and then followed with Firefox (just to see how fast they were going). Firefox gave me a section that was not noted on the map. Not sure where they were. I fulfilled the order for the first pair and then tried for another set after. Sold out. Then ticketmaster brought me to a screen saying 'Buy here if sold out'. There were already a lot of seats available at a nicely marked up price - $160 to $960. I'm not sure if this is the best system
