Lindsey Markel moved to Champaign permanently after being seduced by the music and little lights of downtown. She is an actress at the Station Theatre and the author and publisher of Fickle Little Machine zine. She wants a puppy; please give her one.
First it was a radio show. Then it was (also) a podcast. Next it was a hit television show. And tonight, it's coming to the big screen.
Tonight at 7 p.m., the insanely popular NPR radio show "This American Life" will be broadcasting live from New York via satellite to select movie theatres nationwide — and Savoy 16 is one of those selected. The broadcast, a two-hour event, will preview the second season of the television show, featuring show outtakes, answers to viewer questions and all-new "extraordinary, funny and true stories from everyday life."
Tickets are very limited, so get to the theater (232 W. Burwash Ave., Savoy) early. Visit This American Life for more information.

I just went down to the theatre to buy tickets around 4:30, and the guy said they had 36 tickets left- so they weren't kidding about tickets being limited!

$20. For what is essentially an advertisement for their pay-per-view cable show. Oh, wait! It's "broadcast live" into "select" theatre? How very exclusive! But would you pay $20 to sit with a roomful of strangers in a cinema to watch the screen play Saturday Night Live "live"? Or, more accurately, pay $20 to see a virtual "live" *preview* "performance" of the upcoming Saturday Night Live shows that will be shown only on pay-per-view cable?
I do love me some Ira Glass soundscaping action. But, really. How is this not just plain silly?
Oh, This American Life... why couldn't you learn from Video Killed the Radio Star?
