We'll be showing this, and have already sold over 200 tickets. So far no one has been put off by the fact that they won't actually be here in person -- we don't have enough seats for Keillior's entourage, let alone the audience!

Ever since my favorite Scandahoovian, Stan Boreson, got on the show I've had a soft spot for Prairie Home Companion.

One of my life goals is to play on PHC. Until I get to, I listen religiously. But I think I will wait and watch it on line... as I am playing that night!

I may wait and save my pennies for the live shows - they're doing two here in Seattle later in the season. Seeing the theater broadcast is $18 a seat.

And yet, part of my brain is pondering...if this is suppposed to be like a old fashioned live radio program, isn't "theatre of the mind" supposed to far surpass what one would actually see? [huh]

That's actually how I feel, I prefer just listening. For those who want to see though, here's their opportunity.

Watching the show live is quite entertaining, a different experience than simply listening. I don't know how the show will come across on video and sadly don't have the time to see the movie in the theater.
