Back in 2003, I had a membership with TDF (Theatre Development Fund). TDF is very cool because it offers tickets to various shows at a discount – a substantial discount if you snag a ticket to a Broadway show from them. You can only become a member if you are a full-time student, full-time teacher, union member, senior (62 or over), civil service employee, staff member of not-for-profit organizations, performing arts professional, or a member of the armed forces or clergy, and you have to send in proof to join. I think when I joined I sent them my business cards from two theaters. At any rate, I let the membership expire and occasionally thought about renewing, but figured it would be too expensive or too much of a pain in the ass or something like that.

Last night while watching the Tonys, I decided there were a bunch of shows I wanted to see. This morning, I decided I was going to renew my TDF membership. I had kept my original email from them in my work email, so I still had my password, and inside of five minutes and $27.50 later, I am again a TDF member and can go to see Cry Baby for $36. Sometimes I seriously wonder why I blow things so far out of proportion. If I would have just checked the damned TDF website, I would have renewed the membership years ago. *facepalm*
