Ticket to WWDTM tonight!

topic posted Thu, February 8, 2007 - 9:32 AM by  Mia
Hey All,

I have an extra ticket for the live taping of "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me" at UC Berkeley tonight. My friend just backed out of going, and I'm having trouble finding takers.

Want to come along? YOU KNOW YOU DO. You love Carl Kassel like I do.

Write me a message and tell me why you need to go. Hell, write a haiku if you feel like it. The first person who doesn't sound like a serial killer gets the ticket! Bonus points for non-homicidal haiku.

Enticement:
www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/
itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/lan...1020.html

Show is 8 p.m. at Zellerbach Hall. I'll be in touch with the lucky winner by 5 p.m.

Thanks!

Mia

    if I was in California - I would have surely joined in.
    I've been to two of their live tapings. It is a lot of fun :)
    Here is to hearing your laughter this weekend on the radio :)

      Ah, local NPR Junkies...you didn't represent. No haiku for me! But I just found a friend to go along, so it's all good.

      I'll give Carl a squeeze for everyone.

      Thanks to Jenni and Jus for your replies. Have a great weekend.

          Taping was very cool, I highly recommend going if you ever get the chance. They spend a lot more time bantering with each other and the audience than you'd expect - the live show was about 2 hours and gets cut down to 55 min or so for broadcast.

          Carl Kassel needs to adopt me, or at least be my uncle, he's the cutest little bald bespectacled man in the world. The whole thing was great and hilarious.

          I heart NPR!
