Step Up 3D In Theaters Nationwide August 6

Through July 21, Live Nation offers select concert tickets starting at $10 each. That’s the best concert ticket price we’ve seen with popular artists this year. Featured acts include Maroon 5, Jonas Brothers, Creed, Stone Temple Pilots, Goo Goo Dolls, Sheryl Crow, and more.

Note: the only local show for Seattle residents is American Idol live on August 20th. “Convenience” fees will be included with every ticket purchase.

For American Express cardholders only, get a new American Express PASS Card with a minimum balance of $25 and receive a $25 credit for free after your first recharge of $25 or more. With free shipping, that’s essentially 33% off the cost of a $75 card. The new PASS card will take five to 10 days to arrive, and in order to receive the free credit, it must be recharged by August 15. It must also be active when the credit is applied, which will take approximately two to four weeks. The American Express PASS Card is meant to be purchased by a parent for his or her children, ages 13 or older. It can be used like a debit card, however there is an additional $1.50 fee for ATM usage.

Of note, be sure to spend all PASS card credit and cancel your account before October 1, or a $3.95 monthly service fee will be deducted from your balance.

POM offers two bottles of its POMx Antioxidant Recovery Concentrate for free via coupon code “FGHT”. (Click “buy now” and select the “monthly auto-ship” option.) With free shipping, that’s $50 off and the lowest total price we’ve seen for this recent addition to the POMx line. This item purportedly speeds muscle recovery after exercise and reduces soreness.

Of note, you will need to cancel your subscription to avoid being charged for future monthly shipments. Call 1-888-766-9001 to do so.

The Discovery Store offers Planet Earth: Pole to Pole, Mountains, & Deep Ocean on Blu-ray Disc for $4.99. Coupon code “TBDVD199″ cuts it to $1.99. With $2.95 for shipping, it ties our mention two weeks ago, which was DVD-only, and it’s the lowest total price we could find for the Blu-ray version of this series.

TigerDirect.com offers the TomTom ONE XXL 530-S Widescreen In-Car GPS Navigation System, model no. 1EP0.052.02, for $129.99. Apply coupon code “BOR3502″ to drop it to $99.99. Pad your order over $100 (this Ultra Retractable Cord RJ-11 Modem Cable is 49 cents) to qualify for free shipping. That’s $15 under our June mention and the lowest total price we could find by $78. It features a 5″ touchscreen LCD, USB connectivity, turn-by-turn voice navigation, text-to-speech, and more.

The Chatter

Personal growth can be a good thing, but personal overgrowth leads to a head suited for raising baby birds and fingernails that double as perches. Keep avian invaders from cramping your canopy with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get your choice of either a classic manicure and pedicure or a haircut and style at Spa Blix (a $60 value), which is located in South Lake Union.

Spa Blix is a full-service salon dedicated to providing maximum beauty impact and minimum environmental impact. The classic manicure and pedicure includes a complete extremity spa dunk, hand massage, and salt scrub followed by mineral mask for the feet. After the included cuticle care, nail reshaping, and buff or polish, fingertips will be poised to install contact lenses without fear of impolite eye gouging.

Alternatively, you can use your Groupon toward an image-refreshing cut and style. Trained in the scissor and razor arts of paper snowflakes at such places as Sassoon New York and Bumble and bumble New York, the staff at Spa Blix includes specialists in curly hair and precision trims for shorter ‘dos. The new ‘do resulting from their skillful head shaping will be stylish and easy to maintain, just like a housebroken cashmere goat.

The baroque velour chairs and wood floors at Spa Blix invite guests to relax while putting hostile follicles and nails at ease, making them less likely to attack the friendly staff. Spa Blix donates 10 percent of its monthly profit to local charities, transforming freshly trimmed hairs into benefactors that are too noble for ruffian activities such as tangling or taking barrettes hostage.

Appointment required.
