One of the benefits of being a recovering entertainment publicist is the perks. However, many of those "perks" are paid for. One perk of belonging to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) is I get to go the Grammys. However, I have to PAY for those tickets. Unless you are a nominee, presenter or one of those really A++ listers, you need to pay. And those tix are NOT cheap, nor are the tix for the parties (yes, those are separate too). However, I love the charity work that the Grammy foundation does and will always support that. We also get other benefits which is always a plus (like discounts on anything from insurance to music related & promotional items to even People Magazine).

But, once you are accepted into the fold, you need to keep up your membership or you have to reapply and go through this whole screening process. So today, I got an email that my dues are due. Can you say "OUCH!". My wallet is screaming. Two pairs of shoes that needed a loving home will have to be adopted by some other shopper so my little Grammy card can be active.

In good news, Grammys are February 11, 2007. Therefore, not only am I saving for a house, but I definitely plan on visiting Reese and heading to the awards. Now to find "the dress". I got time.
