So... Six years in a row, I have missed a chance to see Garrison Keillor or "A Prairie Home Companion." He finally comes to Baltimore at The Meyerhoff Center, a beautiful symphony hall. I went there and saw a number of different performances. I even saw him doing a solo concert there. He is now doing a lecture. For the folks who don't know his work, let me tell you that the man is funny, witty, entertaining, and smart. But the lecture series costs $269.00—$365.00 per person. Not affordable.

Today, I found out that he will be part of  the UC Santa Cruz Arts and Lecture series for 2008—09. He will be there on May 13. My birthday. But alas, the flight alone will be very high, add hotel room, and train fare for hubby (he doesn't fly), I'd be paying a lot more than $365.00 per person.

Well,  once again, not affordable.

*sigh*

Wow. That is one pricey lecture. I'm sorry :(

Yep. It hurts. Well, next Spring, I'll make sure to be online as soon as the Wolff Trap tickets go on sale.

If not, you'll end up sitting out in the lawn and roasting like I did when I saw him there two years ago. Oh man...that was painful. Until the sun went down, then it was much more enjoyable.

I don't go that far for him. I'd rather listen on the radio, then.

Wow, that's so expensive! My friend in Boston likes that person (I've never heard of him) and he went to see him a few weeks ago and came back saying he was brilliant! :)

He is an amazingly witty man. Very quick with his wit. I'd say that he is brilliant.

I feel your traveling price woes.
