Free Theatre Tickets: Going Quickly

Free Night of Theatre 2009 is offering 75,000 FREE tickets to shows across the country. Unfortunately, some cities (i.e. NYC) began taking reservations yesterday so the pickings may be slim. Other cities are scheduled to accept reservations starting today or in the next few days, so click on Find A Show in the left margin to see if your city is listed. I already snagged 2 tickets myself. Good luck!

October: National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Other Events

To start this posting on a serious note, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. NBCAM is celebrating its 25th anniversary. While it promotes awareness in October, NBCAM hosts a year round website to be utilized as a resource for breast health and awareness. NBCAM remains “dedicated to educating and empowering women to take charge of their own breast health by practicing regular self-breast exams to identify any changes, scheduling regular visits and annual mammograms with their healthcare provider, adhering to prescribed treatment, and knowing the facts about recurrence.”

On a much lighter note, October is also National Cookie Month. To kick off the month Mrs. Fields is offering a free chocolate chip cookie at participating stores from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. today. Too bad it doesn’t coincide with Starbucks free coffee event, beginning tomorrow.

According to FoodReference.com, October is one busy month:

  • "Celebrate Sun Dried Tomatoes Month
