Once upon a gorgeous Friday afternoon, I travelled to San Francisco city to be part of the show View From the Bay.

Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

I went to see the highly acclaimed Broadway show, “Wicked” last Sunday with my mom and aunts. My aunt tipped us about this lottery ticket at Orpheum theater. On certain days, Orpheum theater raffles off 25USD ticket (which normally costs 70-150) to see their shows. We were happy that we won those tickets. But my [...]
