Bad luck with events lately. I wanted to see Jeremy Scahill speak in Seattle on Thursday, but was too ill and exhausted after work to leave the house. Then I wanted to see Scott McClellan give a speech to promote his new book. The speech sold out (I didn't know we needed tickets). Tonight I'd planned to go see David Sedaris roll through town on his book tour - and that was sold out.
So now I'm sitting at home watching bad Roger Moore James Bond movies and hoping the Three Imaginary Girls tribute to Liz Phair doesn't sell out tomorrow before I get to it.
A lot of stuff cooking in Seattle but I guess you have to plan ahead...

But our tickets were so far back that they could have been any man and woman up there. Since you've missed the chance, I say just listen to some This American Life essays by him. I see he's on YouTube too. (One thing the audience really wanted to see when he appeared was him singing like Billie Holiday; he did not comply.)
