I live in Lauderdale! Its a small sectioning of of the Twin Cities north of Saint Paul, and west of Falcon Heights. About at the intersection of 280 and Larpenteur.
This is me and my bike, Grey Goose.

Ok a bit about work:
I work at CommunityTix which is a ticketing service which provides full box office support, ticket printing, phone sales, web sales, conference registrations, door sales, etc. We work with theatres, choral groups, bands, a couple universities, and others to cover many different types of events.
I am the account executive. So I've analyzed my job to be sort of the liaison between clients and our office. (It is important to note the difference between clients - those who produce a performance/event, and customers - those who attend an event) I am involved with the initial set up of online and phone orders. This is new software for me! But I'm getting more and more comfortable with it. With questions about the event setup, it is generally my responsibility to contact the appropriate person.
I'm helping with the gate/door sales for a few events. We go to all these different sites which is so fun- A bit overwhelming at times though, I must say.

Me and Tessa after Rocky Horror Picture Show. Last weekend was a slower weekend. I only attended this one show. This coming weekend is loaded up. We're seeing YoYo Ma on Friday, The Electric Arc Radio Show on Saturday, The Deception at the Jeune Lune on Sunday, and somewhere in the middle checking out a weekend expo.

Ok now is the part I'm really excited about! These are some pictures of my swamp! Its not a swamp at all- rather a nature preserve maintained by the U of M- but it is my backyard, and I have a lovely patio from which to watch my birds and squirrels.
Check back for a full biography on my unfortunate little pumpkin. He had quite a horrific demise.
Oh as far as birds- thats a chickadee. There are also bluejays, cardinals, juncos, nuthatches, and woodpeckers. And so far I've only seen the one albino squirrel. There are dozens of regular grey ones, a little noisy red one, and a chipmunk who runs under my feet, cheeks loaded to the max. Oh and see my ducks?! I'm going to go feed them my dried out bread tonight and make some friends.
