OldLion it's cool you have a connection like that to them. Write with them?

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 9/20/2014 11:48:32 PM
grdeadhead48 that is pretty cool! I never could master the right handling of them...

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 9/20/2014 11:49:08 PM
when I send letters yes I do and for "official" forms and charge slips

by OldLion 9/20/2014 11:49:56 PM
The handwritten form lends a certain gravity, doesn't it.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 9/20/2014 11:50:23 PM
I had to suffer through the nuns at catholic school to learn proper penmanship with them but now eveyone i know makes me fill out cards theyre sending to people!

I had the incredible experience of seeing GK live here in Ithaca, NY last year; two hours of non-stop fun and laughter. He is a amazing storyteller.

I don't "do" penmanship LOL

by OldLion 9/20/2014 11:51:36 PM
Well done Prairie Home. I pretty sure this is a close I'll ever get to an actual show. That one off of an ever shorter bucket list.

It's been great watching the show live on a late Sunday morning here in Nelson, New Zealand - the video has been nearly flawless. Hope this occurs for every live show!

by MikeNZ 9/20/2014 11:54:47 PM
I'll field that for the chat... if you use Twitter, use the #wobegon hashtag during the show this season.

MikeNZ, I loved reading that.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 9/20/2014 11:55:09 PM
Even though this was digital, please imagine me putting the same gentleness I'd put into handwriting.

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 9/20/2014 11:55:47 PM
