Now thats working the web! good going Ben! Thanks for tips on the websites...
as a side note, I used the web to see the movie Kill Bill. I asked the nice lady at the bank what theaters were decent around here (you can get shot driving or parking in the wrong neigborhood around here!) she recommend a couple, then I used the web to get directions (yes, ive been using mapquest a lot!). Not only did I find the theatres website, but I was also able to reserve my ticket, and purchase it online (I saw it the day it was released... I figured lines would be horrible...) It worked out really smooth. I walked right into the theater, put my card in a machine, and it printed out my ticket. no muss, no fuss. As a side note, movies are pretty expensive out here! ($9 + .75 for online ordering), and $3 for a bottle of water! (and the water wasnt anywhere near as good as it is in eugene) Anyway... the whole thing was under $20, and I had a good time...
