Knights of the frayed XML

City Opera needs some website help, quick. My ticket-wrangling for King Arthur involved 45 minutes of battling with their website's "Server Error in '/' Application" notices, which interfered whenever I tried to check out. It took so long that by the time I got to the end of the process my cart was empty--my assigned seat getting progressively worse every time through--and I started the whole thing over again.

I then called the Box Office and spent 20 minutes on hold without even any hold music. I am severely dissatisfied with their customer service right now, but after some fuming at the woman I finally did manage to speak to, I will be there on Thursday.

I heard they were giving free seats to bloggers. But all I've gotten is an invitation to be a PR whore for a reality TV show. And it wasn't Project Runway. I thought about replying that I don't have a TV, which is a lie. The truth is, I have a TV (a CRT bought from an undergrad for $20) which is only hooked up to a DVD player to watch movies and gets no channels at all. Which is probably worse, actually.
