The “You and the Portland Art World” package is currently at $103.50. That is almost $50 less than the value of the package’s Fertile Ground pass ALONE, not to mention the two tickets to any Artist’s Rep show, 4-pack to any Portland Center Stage shows, two tickets to any show at the Miracle Theater, four White Bird tickets, dual membership to PICA, admission to Ethan Rose’s upcoming show at Oaks Park, where he’ll be playing the pipe organ… I don’t know the total value of this package, and I’m not even going to attempt to figure it out right now, because there’s karaoke-shame where my reasoning capacity should be. But it’s a whole lot more than $103.50.
Now, back to watching YouTubes of sleeping kittens. It helps.
Just because I’m a research whore …. (some values are approximates based on *where* the seats are—these are weighted towards the median price.)
4 tickets to Portland Center Stage approximate value: $60 each = $240
2 tickets to any show in Artists Rep’s 2008/2009 season: (approx) $30 each = $60
2 tickets to any show in Miracle Theatre’s 2008/2009 season: (approx) $20 each = $40
2 tickets to Bad Boys of Dance and Lar Lubovitch: (approx) $40 each = $160
Dual PICA membership: $50
2 tickets to Ethan Rose’s performance at Oaks Park + signed CD (approx) – $70
Approximate total value: $620
The rush of intellectual power you get by feeling more cultured than all your friends: priceless.
Oh .. Right .. I forgot The Fertile Ground Pass ($620+ $150) = $770 ….
More proof I smoked too much weed before math class.
