The Method and the Madness: Totally Unrelated to the Dissertation

Totally Unrelated to the Dissertation

One of the good things about NYU is Ticket Central. One visit to their website (and today to the booth in person) has netted me:

1. Last night's (ORCHESTRA SEATING) ticket to Dr. Atomic at the Met

2. Today's cheap ticket to MoMA (so I could visit the Pollocks)

3. Tonight's ($30) ticket to see Equus (stage seating, which sucks, but NYU has a special deal with the theater...regular tickets in the nosebleeds are $116! That's what happens when you say the words "Harry Potter" and "full frontal" in the same sentence)

3. Tomorrow's cheap ticket to Avenue Q

All for a little over $50...not bad at all.

Okay, off to meet with my second chair committee member...keep your fingers crossed for me.
