The deal is this...
#1 Justin and I are going to see the 5th Avenue's production of Edward Scissorhands next week. You should too, and here's why:
The 5th Avenue Theatre is offering a special discount on premium tickets for Young Professionals' night on Friday, April 27. Using the promo code TOPIARY will get you the best seats available (a regular $68 value) for only $40. You must be 39 or under and show your ID as you enter the theatre. The show starts at 8PM.
To buy discounted tickets, simply go to 5thavenue.org, call 206-625-1900, or stop by the 5th Avenue Theatre Box Office in-person.
I had no idea it was such a big production-- It's been around the world before it came here. It looks really beautiful. Lots of well-choreographed dance and a nice, high-budget performance (you know, compared with a lot of the free theatre I've seen). I'll write up a little review once we've seen it.

#2 I've got wedding fever! Ever since I tried on dresses this Monday with Justin's mom, I just can't stop thinking about planning. I found some styles I love and a few dresses in particular that are to die for. I'm considering getting one made.
I did email the potential wedding planner, and I heard back from her this morning. It looks like we'll work well together! She and I will be hammering out details more after she sends me some information.
Right now I'm having fun just browsing the knot and saving things I like to my notebook. We've made an estimated guest list and talked about the sort of colors and themes the wedding should have. Very abstract things. It will be great to have a consultant to help us sort it all out.
At the moment, our main goals are to define a date and define a budget. The date will be easy. Getting commitments to contribute a certain dollar amount from families will not. We've got to start saving up ourselves! In fact, I'm going to implement AdSense (even though I DESPISE it) to see if it might be a useful way to stash some extra cash.
I'll write about wedding thoughts and financial planning in more detail after tomorrow, when I will under considerably less stress because...

#3 Tomorrow I'm presenting at Holy Names Academy's Career Day. Justin's great aunt Eileen is a nun there and asked if I would present to the girls. I guess she feels that my experience as a young, upwardly mobile professional will be valuable to the girls. I think I'm going to feel very silly talking to them about marketing, but I do hope I can offer them a few words of advice about finding a career and working with people whom you actually like.
My preso makes reference to Dilbert, South Park, toothpaste for dinner, and xkcd. Maybe someone will actually remember it. Even if they don't get the funnies. :P
I've got to put considerable work into my preso and speech tonight. I'm trying to avoid the typical "slide overload" even though I'm working with Keynote, not Powerpoint (which means it's considerably less stoopid). And really, alls I've got to do is talk about my experiences, which ain't that hard. When I'm done with all that nonsense, you'll get more lovey-dovey wedding crap and marathon updates.
