A Prairie Home Companion

Way back in June, I had the awesome experience of going to see a live taping of A Prairie Home Companion. It was nothing short of amazing; to be able to finally connect with my demographic of fellow public radio listeners was almost overwhelming. (What happens when you put a bunch of socially inept NPR fans in an enclosed space?) For those who listened to the show broadcast live on June 21st, it was the memorable show when the power went out for a few seconds at the climax of the freak thunderstorm roiling around Blossom Music Center (the interrupted segment was re-recorded later, so those who heard the encore broadcast on Sunday were none the wiser).

So it finally occurred to me today that I neglected to post the photos I had taken while there, and so here they are, in all their blurry, poorly-lit glory, for your enjoyment.

    I actually haven't heard that. we do have one video of it. It says it is the movie form of their final broadcast.

    Is it just me, or is it getting harder and harder to tell "normal" music from rap?

    I forgot I can post on this. I'll just put up that update I sent out about the countryside, yes? And a few photos :) Tomorrow though, if possible.
