I HAVE A HAMILTON TICKET

 Actually not a terrible seat, either (I think because it was a singleton?) for March 29. It was that or worse seats for about the same money in May or June, or waiting til next fall for sub-$300 seats. My family gave me birthday money well in advance of my actual birthday for this specific purpose, which was very nice of them.

Apparently I ca't book Megabus tickets this far in advance, but I'm thinking I might go up the Saturday before, get a few days to do new York stuff, and head back on Wednesday (and probably enter the Ham4Ham lottery every chance I get, as well). WOO.
