We got tickets to... wait wait!

Tenigma · 08-20-2008, 01:47 PM

NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is going to Berkeley in February and we got two tickets! Woot.

The flyer from Cal went out this week and I wouldn't have known about it except that my cube neighbor is a Cal theater patron and got next season's promo/schedule brochure in the mail. It turns out she will also be at Friday's performance although I don't know where they are sitting.

I bought my tix online but she is Old School and phoned them for tickets--and found out that half the tickets have sold in just the last three days alone. They expected it to be sold out by next weekend. Yow!

I love Wait! Wait, don't tell me!

I was so pissed off when we went to Chicago last year only to find out that the week we were there, Wait Wait was on the road. LOVE that show, listen religiously. Never fails to make me laugh out loud.

What a great show It's always a toss up for me between that and "Whad'Ya Know?" for the best show on NPR.

Lucky you!! I LOVE Wait, Wait!!

I hope Mo Rocca is on the panel you watch (I heart him!)

Hmm, never heard Whad'ya know, I'll have to check it out.

I like Says You too, I wish they'd podcast it.

I like Says You about half of the time. But mostly it is just on at a time I am almost never listening to the radio.
