A Prairie Home Companion

I don't know if any of you listen to A Prairie Home Companion on NPR. If you do (or even if you don't, because you should, it's very dry and witty) you should listen this weekend. Tom and I were at the Hollywood Bowl taping last night and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Beautiful weather, tasty picnic, and news from the place where all the men are strong, all the women are beautiful, and all the children are above average.

Garrison Keillor--we're both extremely fond of the humorist-- had several guests from the upcoming Altman film (titled, not surprisingly, "A Prairie Home Companion." We're excited to see it!)

Meryl Streep was Meryl Streep. Streepy.

Virginia Madsen is now my new girl-crush... she was born to be on the radio, she slipped in and out of her various characters with such ease. And so gorgeous. Her bad-girl fighter pilot, and her Hollywood star (and the dyslexic puppies- fra!) were brilliant.

John C. Reilly can sing! He was very cute in his linen suit.

The Tales from Lake Woebegon were some of the best I remember. All that, plus the Catsup Advisory Board!

Catch it on your NPR station. Probably 6ish PM Saturday, noonish PM Sunday. Those couple-thousand people clapping? We're among them.
