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.

Kevin--If you don't get my check in the mail by Thursday, could you reach out to me so I can hand you a check in person on Friday? I've just been to some Chicago Post Offices (the one on Lawrence comes to mind) and I'm worried about a plan B.

@ Julie-But of course.

Are we meeting early again at a nearby bar?
Comment by Kevin C Dormant on October 20, 2012 at 9:54am

Gary, lauren, you're each down for two. Mail's fine.

Comment by Gary C on October 19, 2012 at 9:15pm

Kevin-Can you put me down for two tickets?  The check will be in the mail on 10/20.  Thanks! :)

Hi Kevin,

I'm in for two (Lauren Gill) and will send a check out in the morning (unless there's a place you'll be on Sunday morning or night that would be more convenient to meet up with cash).

Comment by Kevin C Dormant on October 19, 2012 at 12:03pm

@Trevor. Yes you can. I'm here today until 3:00 or so. If it's more convenient, just drop it in the mail.

Comment by Trevor on October 19, 2012 at 11:49am

I'm in for two tickets, sorry I didn't see this before seeing you this morning, Julie.  Can I drop off 45 at your office, Kevin?

Comment by daWillinChi on October 19, 2012 at 11:28am

I'm sending the payment either tonight or tomorrow
