Steelers tickets CHEAP rush to my Ebay sale (I goofed, you $ave)

Two tickets for Steelers vs Eagles for Aug. 8 at beautiful Heinz Field on the Ohio River (Allegheny river??? It's a confluence).

These are $75 seats, I'm gettin' rid of 'em for $55 each. No ticket service ripoff charges. SUCH A DEAL!!

Here's the link to my Ebay listing: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll

[I thought I was buying september tickets, my loss is YOUR gain!!!]. These cost over $200 at a ticket service, you're saving big time.

tHE seats are real near the goal, so you'll be on TV for every kick and most scores, and you can rush to the rail to grab the balls the players toss up (It's a pre-season game so the rules are relaxed).

Spend a great day on the Ohio River swingin' your Terrible Towel and singing HERE WE GO, STEELERS,...HERE WE GO!!!

AND if you know of a way to get tix for SEpt. 7 at Heinz Field, let me know.

[The pic is of our local Garden Grove guy-turned-Steeler, Troy Polamalu ... i've got a cougar crush on THAT one.]

Am I a jerk, or is this really funny?

I'm disturbed that I'm laughing so much at this shot of a tiny tot so sad...

Is it funny or do I need therapy??

HOW FANTABULOUS IS THIS???!!!!

Where's Waldo? Here, at the Carnival, use Gate 8

Don't accidentally end up on a thoroughbred this weekend, just find GATE 8 on BALDWIN AVENUE for MECDA's Belly Dance Carnival.

You can get there from either the 210 (Foothill) or 10 (San Bernardino)) Freeways. I like the 210. Until there's an accident. Then the 10 is lookin' good too. Use the BALDWIN exit.

(the santa anita exit will take you to the "Seabiscuit" Statue, but resist such temptations... that ain't where YOU want to be.)

SEE Y'ALL THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Listen for my Zils on KFI AM640 Sat am over 50000 throbbing Radio watts

I'm one of the Sharks in the Tank for Bill Handel's Law Day in Costa Mesa Saturday, and will try to get on air to tell all about MECDA Carnival and Punk Raqs... so if you are tuned into Handel On The Law this Saturday Morning and you hear Zagareets and Zills, you'll know what's happening.

I need a simple favor: Get Out your Scissors!!

May and June issues of magazines and newsletters are landing in your mailbox in the next couple of weeks, and if you see announcements of photos of our June 7-8 MECDA Belly Dance Carnival, I NEED THEM.

It's directed by Rachel Lazarus Soto of 'Tribal Cafe' fame, so you KNOW this year will be AMAZING.
