My guess is that tickets will sell out in minutes for the office and for heroes, but I'm guessing those are going to be your top picks. Each of you please post your top three choices in order and I'll do my best. The tickets go on sale February 1. Also post if it is absolutely essential that you must get in one of these over all else in the world -- like if you will die happy if you can just speak to George Lucas one time.

1) HEROES! Tied or actually slightly behind an evening with George Lucas, which would be ridiculously cool. I might die sort of happy if I get to talk to him.

2) American Idol...I don't really know why.

3) The Office for Steve Carrell or Nip/Tuck because I like Julian McMahon from Charmed

Thanks

1) The Office

The Office is all 3. And I guess it would fall under the category of must see.

Heroes, The Simpsons, George Lucas - all fairly interchangeable. The office would also be awesome, but I doubt that's gonna happen. Nip/Tuck would be fun, but only for the joy of asking them what the hell has happened to their writing staff in the past season and a half - the show's gone from gloriously trashy to just plain crap. It says a lot when 3/4 of your cast quit on you in one season.

Here's my thoughts. The tickets go on sale at a certain time on 2/01. You have to be a member to buy tickets that first week. You can only buy four tickets per event per membership. I have two memberships. Some shows sell out literally in seconds. In my opinion Heroes and The Office are the ones likely to go first. Maybe George Lucas next -- hard to say. My current plan is to try for 4 Office tickets -- that would be mine, Heather's, Ben's and Sam's. Then I could go for Heroes -- I'd try to get four tickets (I'm in Chicago at a conference so they'd go to Janet, David and two others. But instead I could go for four Lucas and skip heroes. (One for me, three for you, presumably Janet, David and one other). Meron has to let me know if she wants me to try for Ugly Betty even if she's the only one. I'm fine with it if that's her top pick. If not, I'll try for another Office after my heroes try, or she can have the 4th Lucas ticket if I get Lucas instead of Heroes. (Meron, let me know)Aaina wants Nip/Tuck which I think I'll be able to get. The question is does anyone want to forgo their first choices and see Nip/tuck as your first choice?
The above strategy could change if I hear from the blog stragglers.

I'm all for trying for 4 of Lucas first instead of waiting for Heroes for purely selfish reasons.
