No Gore For Me

For those of you wondering how the evening with Al Gore went, it didn't. Or rather, I didn't. Go, that is. My son was too sick for me to leave with my friend who was willing to watch him. Not that he was too sick for her to handle. No, I just would not have been able to enjoy myself knowing that my son was miserable somewhere that I wasn't. Certainly, I would have enjoyed an evening out with some friends listening to Al Gore's Inconvenient Presentation ;) but there's nothing like my boy climbing onto my lap and demanding a "cuddle-hug"!

I was able to give the tickets to some very appreciative friends. I haven't heard heard, yet, how the show went, though. I hope they were able to give Al my regrets.

Gettin' my Al Gore

After reading that the guy who won in 2000 would be in town, I had to get my hands on those tickets. It'll be great to be able to say, "No, I haven't seen the movie--I just saw Al Gore do it live." My mom will probably see this photo on Flickr and have a fit.

I guess I didn't read the post well enough, as I stood in front of the RIMAC box office until 10 am. Quick with my web-enabled phone, I realized my error--the tickets were being distributed at the Price Center box office. I shared this with the one other guy waiting by the window, and we made our way to the right place. Sitting there, at the RIMAC, we each thought we were the first ones in line. When we got to the Price Center, we found a line that snaked up the steps to the main walk. It was a fast moving line, though, and it only took about 10 minutes to get to the window.

I heard that there was only 4,000 tickets available, so between the line and the phoned in reservations, I don't think they were available for long. I'll let you know how it is. I can't wait to be able to say, "No, I haven't seen the movie--but I did get to see Al Gore present it live!"
