Oh come on... you know you want to! I'll go if you go!

Does anyone know if this is tax deductible? I really do need to make a big donation this year, so this may be the one.

I really would, if only I had heard about it with just a week more time to make plans.

Yeah, that's what I did when Stevie played Cal State Fullerton's fundraiser. I used it towards my taxes.

But to make up for missing out, let's just tell ourselves it won't be that special anyway. I'm sure they won't do a full set.

Or Conception Bear. Cheaper still, Premature Ejaculation Bear.

Now I'm grossing myself out.

I'm sure they will do "Sisters of the Moon" just for that one night!

What's there to plan? All you need is a plane ticket. My house is about six miles away from this event, so you could crash there if you need to.

Come on... pick up the phone... you know you want to be a Mama Bear.

Michele, have faith. It's only a matter of time before they do something like that here... I hope.

Yeah, Mama Bear must be at around $45,000.

I wonder what you get that's different based on the varying levels of your donation. For $75,000 you get to watch Stevie take tennis lessons, to warm up before the show. For $2000 you get a nice seat in the owner's walk in closet and hear the performance through the house's intercom system.

Yay fellow horse people! This always excites me.

Also, I am SO SO jealous! If you go, you must tell us how it went.

Ooh... now you're really tempting me to go... only a couple of things worry me. For one thing, aren't we supposed to get hit with a hurricane on Saturday? Secondly, I hate the thought of paying $2000 and then having nothing to eat (I'm vegan/vegetarian). Okay, I know it's charity and all that, but I don't care whether I'm paying $20 or $20,000... I wanna eat!
