Back in April I found out that the Antiques Roadshow was going to be at the Santa Clara Convention Center, which is less than 20 minutes from my house. I missed them when they were in my home town a few years ago, because you have to put your name/e-mail address in a drawing on their website before a certain cut-off date, and then check the website after the deadline to see if you were chosen; I didn't find out about it until the date had already passed. This time, though, I saw their ad after watching the show, put my e-mail address in, and actually got chosen for tickets! The tickets are free, and each e-mail address chosen gets 2 tickets; each ticket holder gets to bring 2 items to be appraised. I offered my second ticket to my friend Rose from the costume guild, and we had an exciting, if tiring day today at the Roadshow!
