extremely advance planning

[anotheranon]

Gritted teeth and ordered tickets to see King Tut. In March.

Normally I don't like to make plans this far in advance. I never know what my finances will be like until I'm practically on top of an event so I tend to put off making the "should I stay or should I go?" decision as long as possible.

But Tut has special nostalgic value for me. The first museum exhibit I remember was the King Tut exhibit in Chicago back in 1977. I was 4, and spent most of it asleep on my dad's shoulder, but I do remember the big gold death mask very clearly. I simply must see it now that I'm at an age where I'd actually remember everything!

Don't know if you've heard, but the Mask isn't part of this exhibit. It was decided by who ever decides these things that the political climate is such that it was too risky to let it leave Egypt.

I too saw the original Tut exhibit back in the day but I was in high school at the time so I remember quite a bit of it. I really should get to the exhibit before it leaves town.....maybe later this week.....

Poopie :/ Still, it's not the only reason I want to see the exhibit, so no huge loss.

I do hope you're able to make it - I took advantage of presale tix because the Philly show is expected to sell out , and I wanted to be sure I had at least a reasonable selection of dates/times.
