What a funny and cute story. Your husband seems really cool and so are you and I think a lot of people will agree on that. Anyway, I wish the best for the both of you and may you continue to have a wonderful and fun marriage. Thank you for sharing this. Imagining the two of you makes me smile. Stay in love.:)

I’m a bit lost. If you wanted to go to the mall alone, does this mean that you’ve gotten over your fear of driving there? Or do you make Phil take you?

http://www.stubhub.com/blizzcon-tickets/
Now owned by eBay it’s free to list but if you sell there’s a 15% fee charged to you, the seller, so you’d need to sell your tickets for approx. $295 just to break even.

Alternatives are eBay itself (again with a fee), and while there are multiple BlizzCon Ticket listings, a positive sign is that some of them have Bids in excess of Face Value. There’s even an auction for Grunty the Murloc Marine pet. Just the pet, with a current high bid of $113.

There’s also RazorGator: http://www.razorgator.com/ but I don’t see any BlizzCon tickets listed there.

Those are the big three online ticket sellers.

Alternatively, if you’re actually going to be in town, you could try selling the tickets when you’re in Anaheim. Just don’t sell or attempt to sell them while on the grounds of the Convention Center itself, because that’s a misdemeanor under California Penal Code §346 http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/346.html

Note that the law only prohibits you from selling the tickets if you’re actually at the Convention Center. You can stand across the road and sell the tickets, that’s okay, you just cannot sell them while on the grounds of the Convention Center itself.

But if you go this route be careful. Not that you might get ripped off, but because of the potential of getting a ticket (the bad kind) for scalping. If your potential buyer wants you to accompany them onto the grounds of the Convention Center to make sure the tickets are genuine BEFORE they hand over the money, it’s possible they’re an undercover police officer trying to nab you for scalping. Agree to accompany them but insist that the sale be completed and money & tickets change hands prior to approaching the Convention Center. If they refuse and insist they will only do business at the gate itself, educate them on PC §346. If they insist on completing the sale at the gate do NOT do business with them. Look for another buyer. I’m sure there are folks that go to BlizzCon w/o a ticket, knowing they’ll be able to buy one when they get there, and I’m sure they’re prepared to pay more than face value.

i can save you a trip from having to approach the actual Blizzcon site, and risk wanting to go in and use your own tickets, and then irking Phil as he didn’t want to be there in the first place. you can simply mail them to me. kthxbai

ps – you should update your “about this blog” :)

You and Phil are hysterical. Is your life really a series of sitcom-worthy vignettes? I hope so.

….where is this free magazine subscription site? That sounds like a particularly delightful kind of crack.

I would marry Phil if I could (and I’m a guy)! That’s how cool that man sounds.
