Jackson ticket holders offered refund or souvenir...
“Michael Jackson fans who purchased tickets for his final concerts will receive a full refund or, if they chose, a commemorative ticket, the concert promoter said Tuesday.”

More than $85 million worth of tickets have already been sold for the series of performances, which have the now sadly ironic title “This Is It.” As much as $30 million has already been spent on production, according to sources close to the situation.

The most recent Hardly Working features Streeter as one of my favorite unintentionally hilarious character types: the H.G. Wells/Jules Verne-esque Victorian scientist.
Rocking some lace in the latest HW. Pat wrote this one and I think he did an exceptional job.
