Get 'em now! For those who like to plan ahead (we do not) tickets for the exhibit of Egyptian stuff at the deYoung Museum are on sale now, even though it doesn't open for another 71 days. You may want to buy them for after the huge July 4th weekend rush -- the show's going to be up for like a year anyway and there's nothing more annoying than a crowded museum. In related news, a team from the deYoung is in Cairo right now shooting documentary footage to be used in the exhibition.
