OR Stuff White People Like #44

To say last night’s live performance of NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! was damp would be an understatement.  All in the good name of Public Radio entertainment however, my efforts weren’t in vain.  As you can see below, the entire panel of the show was sympathetic enough to stick around after the show and greet everyone who had the tenacity to further risk infecting themselves with an inevitable cold.

However the rain served as a line in the sand between the fans dedicated enough to risk health to see this live performance and those listeners more casual.  A point that Peter Sagal reminded the crowd of frequently by chiding us with declarations of insanity.  The panel of Mo Rocca, Paula Poundstone and Tom Bodett was fresh and comical as usual.  With the media scrutiny over Alaskan Governor and Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin this week, Paula from time to time would rattle off other American women that were passed over, but still qualified for the slot.  One candidate named was a little girl who dug halfway to China.

Sickness has been held at bay for now.  Hopefully it will stay that way through the weekend for the Flugtag.  THAT event will have motion pictures with it’s update.
