The Modern Romantic

As you might guess, I'm fairly busy today, but I wanted to share for a moment. So, I had to buy myself a desk, and of course I scoured Craigslist and found this beauty -- for $60 with delivery. Now, it's painted over brown and needs refurbishing (only cosmetically), but I started sneaking around it and discovered it's a 1952 Alma Desk, probably walnut. It definitely needs restoration, but overall it's in great condition. But whatever. The great part is, I took out the drawers and lying on the bottom floor of the desk was an old empty mothball wrapper-- and 7 tickets to a Tito Puente concert at Macho's in San Diego.What should I do with them? Because of the volume of them, I'm guessing this desk once belonged to a concert promoter, or you know--an Arts & Entertainment Editor. In any event, it's got bones and soul-- and was way cheaper than IKEA.
