Seeing these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is omnipresent in this day and age, and I think it is safe to say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don’t mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside… I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It’s one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

There is an IN THE HEIGHTS tour ticket giveaway from beintheheights.com – They will be giving away pairs of tickets to at least 5 people from each city on the tour.
Contest link at:
http://beintheheights.com/jjcrawfs
The cities it’s touring to that are part of the giveaway include:
Philadelphia PA Jan 18-23
Rochester NY Jan 25-30
Detroit MI Fev 1-13
Charlotte NC Feb 15-20
Durham NC Feb 22-27
Hershey PA Mar 1-6
Nashville TN Mar 3-27
Miami FL Mar 29-Apr3
It looks like response has been low, so pretty much anyone who signs up and gets a few clicks has a really good chance of seeing the show for free.
That’s what I’m hoping anyway!
