Description

In August of 2010, Peter Sagal, an avid cyclist and host of the popular WNPR show, Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me was hit by a car while riding his bike. Some members of the Chainlink expressed an interest in going to the show as a show of support upon his recuperation and return to the show. Interest exceeded my expectations, and we managed to get 40 chainlink members to show up for the September 30, 2010 taping. We did it again last year, and another 40 chainlinkers showed up on November 10, 2011.

There is a small discount (10%) for buying a block of 40 tickets. Tickets are approximately $22.275 apiece. Julie (graciously) and I (grudgingly) have agreed to purchase the tickets on or before October 19th. 

If you know and like the show, you'll love watching the taping. If you don't know anything about the show, you might be surprised to see how entertaining it is to watch the taping of a radio show.

All of the 40 tickets are spoken for.
The tickets are virtual. The taping itself starts at 7:30. Don Hall, the event coordinator/stage manager has asked that we get there around 6:45PM. He'll have 40 programs to give to me, which I will then distribute to each of you whose name appears on the frequently updated spreadsheet, or your designee (who will be required to produce three forms of photo identification and a major credit card). No kidding, if you sell or transfer your ticket to someone else, you have to email me or message me with the new person's name. There will be a section of 40 seats blocked off for our group and he'll walk us down around 7:10PM. No waiting.



For anyone interested in a cooling beverage or light fare in advance of the show, I'm leaning toward strolling over to the Italian Village first floor bar (Vivere @71 W. Monroe) around 5:45 - 6:00 pm, though I can be talked into another venue as well.

I may... give me a minute to confer with the interested party

I just received a message from Shawn C. that he is unable to attend tonight's show. If anyone has a last minute inclination to go to the show tonight, there is one ticket available. First one who speaks up, gets it.

I probably won't be there before 5, but you never know. There are 3 restaurants/bars in the Italian Village-upstairs, downstairs, and ground floor. The Vivere bar is on the ground floor. If you enter through the revolving doors and find yourself climbing or descending stairs, you are going the wrong way.

I'll probably be there before 5. I don't feel like going home first and I get off at 3:30, so I'll probably hangout around there. Call or text me 312-970-9328

Julie, that is the plan ;-).  Surrounded by so many people who bike, maybe he will have to join the crowd!  We should be at Italian Village between 5:45 and 6:00.

Lisa - Do we get to meet the Mr. tomorrow?

Comment by Julie Aberman (Hochstadter) on October 31, 2012 at 8:16pm

See you all soon!  Ari and I are planning to be at Italian Village at 5:45. 

Comment by Kevin C Dormant on October 31, 2012 at 10:10am

I was thinking the same thing. And I hope Peter Sagal is back this week-last week Drew Carey guest hosted.

Comment by Lisa Curcio on October 31, 2012 at 9:34am

With all that has been going on and the election next week, I am thinking this could be a pretty good night!
