When you're putting on an event, getting people there is half the battle. Some local groups—the Baltimore Improv Group, Fluid Movement, and the Baltimore arm of the 48 Hour Film Project—have recently turned to Seattle-based Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com) for ticket-selling support. Vending tickets through BPT's website is free; event producers just have to register. BPT then sells tickets by phone and online (optional bulk printing and mailing services carry a nominal cost). Ticket buyers fare well too, paying one of the lowest service fees in the industry—$.99 plus 2.5 percent of the ticket price. And as part of their not-just-for-profit philosophy, BPT donates at least 5 percent of their profits to charity.

My Sweet Find
Workout Buddy
A shower tote saves time and trouble at the gym.
“I can’t live without this shower tote at the gym. This carries everything and loops the hook, or it can sit on the floor. It has drain holes in the bottom, it’s washable, and I always get compliments on it ’cause it’s cute!”

Season floral arrangements for late-fall weddings
I’m getting married this fall, and I’ve heard that if you get flowers out of season, they can be quite expensive. Can you advise me on fragrant, seasonal floral arrangements on the lower end of the price scale?
