I was trying to think of something to add to this post, but I can't stop drooling over the thought of Mirror Mirror and Pinot Jubelale. I'm just going to click "publish" and go order some tickets...

So, did you get tickets? I should have called yesterday when I read your post... For some reason, their offices are closed for the holiday, and I may die of anticipation, and fear, that we not be able to get in...
I'll be calling on Monday for tix, hopefully they still have some. Does anyone want to set up a carpool to cut down on gas costs?
