Thanks, Kristine! See, there you have it, funny Lutherans all over the place!

Yep, I'm swinging my hips to that music now!

Hello Kristine! I know some seats are available through rush seats, because I see the passionate fans waiting for the option.

There is something neat about seeing the live staging. It is fun to see the casualness. We watched last week too. It is easier this week knowing there will be times the video is blocked.

Scotland here, enjoying live feed very much

We used to make powdermilk biscuits. The family always danced during this part of the show

by Terry Gallman 3/29/2014 10:31:23 PM
The first time I saw the show live, at Interlochen, I ended up closing my eyes...it's taken me a while to get used to the idea of seeing it as well as hearing it.

by Will Westerfield 3/29/2014 10:31:25 PM
Right on, Ellie!

I love being able to watch this! Lived in MN until 1975 and saw Butch Thompson then...he's STILL going strong. You go Butch!

I love the live video stream - but I also love to just listen to the radio and imagine all that is taking place. It let my imagination take me where it will.

tryed to get kickstarter page set up to try to get account for garrisons star on the walk of fame, couldnt get past the limitations on this work computer...hollywood historic trust requires $30000 available to have a star, after their selection of a honoree and the honorees agrement he would appear...they select people for the stars 1 time a year....in may. he still deserves it many times over

Go, Rich! What an awesome musician!

by Tim 3/29/2014 10:31:56 PM

If you like history and Garrison, I don't have to ask if you subscribe to The Writer's Almanac, do I?

Who committed suicide? I missed the name.

Garrison will be here in Park City UT this upcoming Thursday for a show. I have tickets!

by Cheryl from Park City 3/29/2014 10:33:37 PM
Julia: Is there any chance we can get Garrison Keillor to give us online folk a shout-out? :D

by Chak Man Yeung 3/29/2014 10:33:52 PM
We had AMAZING seats and even got to say hi to Garrioson after the show...truly a fun experience! We would love to know how we go about sitting on the front porch of the house?

by Kristine 3/29/2014 10:33:58 PM
you go Cheryl

by OldLion 3/29/2014 10:34:03 PM

by Will Westerfield 3/29/2014 10:35:21 PM
Good question about the front porch...!Are those just audience members or special folk?

by Cheryl from Park City 3/29/2014 10:35:22 PM
maybe after the hour break see if he can say hi to the online folk watching

by busguy5 3/29/2014 10:35:24 PM
What do you call a busy family always on the run? Van Gogh (okay, maybe I'm not a funny Lutheran).

by Tim 3/29/2014 10:35:43 PM
Julia you are just a fount of ALL KINDS OF ARCANE KNOWLEDGE

by OldLion 3/29/2014 10:35:45 PM
Chak Man, I think that's out tonight but I'll make sure people around the halls know everyone who was here

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/29/2014 10:35:50 PM
Shout-out! Shout-out!
