Jigna and I want to go see him. Anyone else want to go?

Quoted: Hotel Rwanda tells the story of something we promised would happen "never again" -- the world watching passively as genocide takes the lives of innocent civilians.

Quoted: Paul Rusesabagina, the real life hero of Hotel Rwanda, recently traveled to Darfur to experience first-hand how the horrors portrayed in the film are replaying themselves in real life. He came away committed to stopping the carnage and preventing a future Hotel Darfur.

Quoted: Recipient of both the 2005 Medal of Freedom and the 2000 Immortal Chaplains Prize for Humanity, Rusesabagina returns to Seattle for a conversation with Hubert G. Locke, Professor Emeritus of the Evans School of Public Affairs, on the horrific situation in Darfur and the tools needed to make change.

Quoted: Rusesabagina's book An Ordinary Man is scheduled for release in April, 2006.

Sorry Luke! You're just too slow... Hehehehe.

I'll buy you two tickets so you can find someone else to go. It's $75 bones for two of 'em. Let me know.

Orrrrrr you can follow the link, quit whining, and buy some yourself. It'll be easy to find folks to go, I promise...

Aaahhhh! Mohit wins the "fastest Dot" contest and is the recipient of one ticket!

For anyone else, let's gather some friends/good people to go to this and then hook up later for a drink. Let's start a Blue.Us "flash mob!"

I want to go see Dan Rather speak next week and am purchasing a couple First Tier tickets in the next few minutes ($35 + service charges). Is anyone interested in my second ticket?

Second, if more people are interested, gather some tickets for yourself and we'll go get a drink afterwards.

Here is the info:

Quoted: For more than 40 years, former CBS News Anchor and current 60 Minutes Correspondent Dan Rather has been the embodiment of the intrepid broadcast journalist. From the Kennedy assassination--where he was the first to break the news that the president had been killed--to the Indian Ocean tsunami, he has covered every major story of our time, with distinction and a fierce dedication to hard news. Few can match the authority, experience, and perspective Rather offers on world events and the passion he displays in defense of journalism.

Quoted: American Voices, Foolproof Performing Arts is a non-profit organization dedicated to the presentation of outstanding performing artists and public figures able to find the humor in life, to engage the diverse Northwest population in the public policy debate and to encourage participating in the life of our community and our nation.
