The Random Gift


Just realized that I never did report back about the "special gift" that was part of my Elixir of Love Prize. I was excepting something related either to Elixir of Love or else to cocktails. Nope. I got a large envelope in the mail from the Met Opera a few days after the performance. Opened to find a random assortment of items from the gift shop:


A bookmark, a deck of "What Do You Know About Opera" trivia cards, a blank sketch book with a Boheme-themed cover and the season book. It looks like someone went into the shop and randomly tossed a few items into the envelope. I'm not complaining - as I said before, the tickets were the real gift. It was just kind of humorous to get this random assortment of items.

Vintage Cherry Rewards

Remember a few months ago when I begged everyone I knew, and many people I didn’t know, to vote daily for my entry in the Met Opera’s “Elixir of Love” contest? And remember how I won!




Not because my drink was the best, but because I nagged the most people to vote. The prize was, two tickets to see Elixir of Love at the Met, plus a “special gift” from the Metropolitan Opera. Well, finally, this coming Saturday, Husband and I will be seeing the opera. It’ll be interesting to see this new production, especially since I saw the other production TWICE last year. This one stars Anna Netrebko and Matthew Polenzani.

So the tickets will be waiting for us at the box office, along with the “special gift.” We have no idea where the seats are, or what the gift is. I will, of course, post again afterwards with all the boring details. Stay tuned!

Vote for my Vintage Cherry!

Thought that might get your attention!!! Vintage Cherry is the name of a drinky-drink the Huz and I came up with to enter the Metropolitan Opera's "Elixir of Love" contest. The entry with the most votes wins tickets to see The Elixir of Love. Which yeah, I've seen twice this year. But this is a new production with a different cast!!! You can vote once per day between now and September 23. This is my shameless plea to PLEASE VOTE FOR MY DRINK!!!!! <---click the link to go directly to my voting page. THANKS!!

Opera Pulse Script Writing Contest

I'm just thinking that I shouldn't post this link (which I have recently fixed. The link, I mean, not the contest.) since I'm entering the competition.... I sort of jokingly suggested it and they went with it!! I'm working on my script now. I knew all these years of writing "natural-sounding language" dialogues for the listening comprehension section of the TOEFL would finally come in handy. After the contest I'll post my entry.
