Anyone going to be near Harvard?

[rhu]

Ticket info for the Boston Crossword Tournament has been released, and the service charge that Harvard is slapping on tickets ordered by phone ($5.75) or online ($7) is absurd. So I'm wondering if anyone is going to be near there anyway and would be willing to pick one up for me (or, for that matter, if we should just get a group order going).

I think we should get a group order or something.

Nomi used to commute through Harvard Square, but she doesn't anymore.

I can get one for ya -- just let me know!

Thanks for the offer, but I think it's taken care of.

Um, so am I in on this group order? I've heard nothing from you since my initial reply to this post two days ago.

You were the only one who expressed interest, which doesn't quite make it a group. Besides, wouldn't your ticket be free with a Harvard Alumni ID?

There's no such thing as a Harvard Alumni ID. (Yeah, I know, and let's not get into that right now.) Although I could ask about whether a Harvard alum can get a free ticket, but I'm not sure who to ask. Any ideas?

Also, let me know if I need to get a ticket on my own. I've been waiting and not getting a ticket until I knew from you if we were going in as a "group."

Check in with Eric Helmuth at info@bostoncrosswordtournament.org

And yes, I'm afraid you're on your own for ticket procurement. Maybe you can take Toonhead! up on his offer to get one for me :-)

Sorry for sowing confusion.

Toonhead, I may want to take you up on this offer, if you're willing. Will keep you posted...
