Tickets are purchased.  There is a $6.00 fee per ticket.  Total per ticket is $36.00.  I ordered by phone to choose the best seats.  I can't choose ordering online. 

We are located on the first floor, left side along the aisle, rows 10, 11, and 12.  These are the best tickets with maximum view including seeing the final scene =)  Doors open at 6:30pm.  Seating begins at 7:00pm.  Pics of Marie, The Nutcracker, and the Mouse King are available free.  Bring cameras.

Do we want to eat dinner before Nutcracker or after walking in Christmas In the Park? 

Anyone else can join us.  You just have to buy your tickets on your own  ;)

YOU NO HUNGRY FOR MARISSA, YOU'RE HUNGRY FOR HOOOTT POCKETTTSSS...

There.  Are you hungry for HP yet?   err HP for Hot Pockets, not for Harry Potter.   :P

[Amelia Seyruun]

I am definitely up for dinner.

[Jerry]

now that i have a 2nd job, i think i should be able to get off early enough to catch the show in time.

Also I would like to take this opportunity to request a possble semi early meet up before the show to check out X-mas in the park a take a few photos. say around 6pm ish?

since i decided not to get a tree after all, I'll take absorbing any Xmas cheer thru other means...

too bad, i do miss our Xmas tree adventures from last year.

then again this semi-formal thing with a show is a nice new tradition too ^_^

[ININ]

The best time for pics at Christmas In the Park is at night when the tree lights are turned on.  At 6pm, it's going to be dark XD

[AnimeEmperor]

I think i'm going to the one in Sacramento starting the 7th. It's a little cheaper.

[LadyKaren]

Karen wants to go to the Opening night. ;.;

Too bad she's poor and lacks the social standing to be taken seriously going to this...


Edit: Oh and I love the fact you can take your child to meet the characters, and get a cocktail while your there. Ah, such is the life of rich people.

Edit again: Okay, Karen just wants to go to the gala..
http://www.balletsanjose.org/news/Gala08PR.htm

Anyone want to put up a few thousand dollars to sponser her going to the gala?

[otakuya]

Sorry, not gonna go to this one. Gonna be at SF at the time. I'm gonna go to the end-of-the-year gathering though. If you already bought tix, please give it to someone more deserving than me >_>.

[Braveheart]

I'm not going to the San Jose performance but I do have tickets to the Oakland / Paramount Theater performance on the 21st. I managed to score 2 first row balcony seats, the view is going to be amazing!

[ININ]

[Jerry]

How "formal" with this event be?

I usually wear the business casual stuff to the office all the time, and I haven't had the budget to buy a new suit...

I'll see what I could manage before the show.

I know a certain someone *cough cough*  ::)
who may attack me if I show up looking like this:


But who knows...  ???
I'll probably end up going in Jeans because I'll forget to do my laundry... :P

[gmontem]

Here ya go.

Dress:  Semi-formal

Sounds like jeans are a no-no.

[ININ]

Jerry, business casual is acceptable.  Please, no jeans XD
