[net.wobegon] PHC on television

I greatly enjoyed viewing PHC on television last Saturday to see
"how it's done" and to see what everyone looked like,
but frankly, I'm glad it's a radio show.
Although, if there were one part of the show I'd like to experience
visually again, it would be watching Garrison delivering his monologues --
he really goes into a trance when he gets rolling!

Maybe I can get up to St. Paul one of these years and watch the show
for real.  Does anyone know about getting tickets?
How expensive are they?  Do you have to be "someone" to get them?
(No, I don't qualify for Raw Bits -- so what makes me think
I might qualify for PHC tickets?)  Is the wait six months or longer?

My wife and I enjoyed the televised radio show Saturday.  Two years ago
we took a weekend jaunt to St. Paul to see the show, and watching it on
the tube put us right back in the audience.  I don't recall what ticket
prices were, maybe ~$8.00 apiece.  Shows were sold out about a month in
advance;  if you wanted back row balcony seats, you could get them for
a show two weeks hence;  if you want front row, center, book three months
in advance.  They took a credit card number and the tickets appeared in
the mail a few days later.
