Spread the KOOZA love this Valentine's

So sorry for the last minute-ness of this incredible offer, but I just became aware of it. (I've had other things on my mind, like running my first marathon, so I hope you can forgive me!) Anyway, if you haven't had a chance yet to see KOOZA the amazing Cirque du Soleil show now playing at the Orange County Great Park, this is an opportunity you don't (& can't) pass up...

Buy one ticket for a select performance before February 14th (I told you it was last minute!) & get the second one FREE! To take advantage of this incredible offer (seriously?! buy one get one FREE?!), go HERE. When I last checked there were performances (& tickets) still available for THIS coming Thursday (at 4pm & 8pm), Friday (at 4pm), Saturday (at 4pm & 8pm) & on Sunday (at 1pm & 5pm). But you better hurry - with a deal like this (I still can't get over it! Buy one get one FREE!)
