Win a date with d.b. echo!

Ashley and Tiffany both live in Michigan and are mighty excited about going to see the farewell tour of RENT in Grand Rapids on March 5. I've never seen RENT, but I've always sorta kinda been RENT-curious. My curiosity was further aroused yesterday while I was making a meatless Ash Wednesday dinner (vegetarian chili, which really came out a lot more like salsa with two types of beans) when a commercial came on during the local 5:30 news about RENT coming to Scranton in a few weeks.

After I got my dirt yesterday I came back home and did some searching on the computer. And, yep, there it was: the last stop on the RENT tour before Grand Rapids, Michigan is the Scranton Cultural Center on February 22 through 24!

So, now comes the big problem. Go it alone, or find someone to go with?

My sister is a big RENT fan, but she doesn't feel like making the 150+ mile trek up here to see it. I can't imagine many of my friends around here would be that interested in going. And the people I know online who I know would be interested in going to see it...well, they live in Michigan, and are going to see it in Grand Rapids.

So here's the deal: if you live in this area and are interested in going to see RENT with me, let me know! Not that I'm gonna buy you tickets or anything, but maybe you can score a ride in my rattling deathtrap 1996 Toyota Tercel with 283,000 "official" miles on it (as of today!) And who knows, play your cards right and you might find yourself having coffee or maybe even dinner with yr. hmbl. blogger himself! Be prepared for fascinating dinner conversation like "Oh, crap, did I just get that all over my sweater?" and "You'd think they'd give you more napkins, for the prices they charge here!" and "So...anyway...what was I saying?"

Yessir, if this works out, maybe I'll work my whole calendar of social activities through my blog. Now that I have a normal working schedule, for the first time in a long time!

If you're interested, you can always contact me at my hotmail address, databoy142. Or just leave a comment!
