He's got such a folksy persona on the radio, but here is my real-life experience with the G-man....
I used to work in Butler Square, the building where Public Radio International (PRI) was officed. I saw Garrison Keillor once in the elevator, going up (he must have been going to the PRI offices on the 9th floor, I suspect). I was running for the elevator carrying a briefcase and some luggage, we made eye contact, then he deliberatly hit the "close" button on the elevator before I got there, and I never saw him again. So much for the "just folks" angle in my opinion.

I won't be there, but I must pledge my allegiance to Garrison Keillor. Seen PHC live 3 times now... I am a PBS/NPR junkie and damned proud of it.
Edit: I'm going to go put on my Powdermilk Biscuits t-shirt now.

I have to boycott the movie due to their last-minute omission of Tom Waits from the cast.

I too am a major NPR junkie. In fact I used to work for an NPR station and did news and stuff. I also grew up on PHC, although I hated it then. Now I love it. But still can't see how that could be made into a viable film. We'll have to see.

The Cartalk guys are featured in the movie Cars. Wierd how they both open this Weekend.
Public Broadcast Overdose, anyone?
I'm waiting for The Infinite Mind feature-length film myself....

i'm going to use this thread to point out what our fine moderators consider "foo".
not too long ago a member of this forum had a birthday, a thread was started, events happened, wrap-up postings were occuring and then poof ... the thread was moved to foo.
perhaps i'm missing the obvious connection between garrison keillor and ss/fgs. or perhaps it's as easy as putting fg/ss in the title. ... i don't think this thread should be moved, just as i don't see why the other was moved ... just making a point so "your" thread doesn't get thrown in the toilet either.
poo on what is foo.
anyway, on with your day.

Car Talk is the greatest radio show ever. They are also voicing two cars in the movie of the same name. I am an NPR nerd.
