Slog - Comments on Today the Stranger Suggests http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/today_the_stranger_suggests_36 Sarah Vowell (Reading) The queen of This American Life and daughter of The Incredibles brings her baby voice and hulking wit to the Moore for a one-night-only reading. Tickets ain't cheap, but Vowell is a reliably charming hostess and incisive writer. Plus, she'll be signing books in the lobby after the show. (Moore Theatre, 1932 Second Ave, www.ticketmaster.com. 8 pm, $28.50—$73.50.) DAVID SCHMADER...

Still, even $28 tickets are nothing to sneeze at.

And Seme's right: I would pay a lot of money to see Sarah Vowell crump.

I think fans should have equal access to good tickets...the person who waits in line the longest should get the best seats, not the one who can afford to shell out the most $$$. The price of tickets in general has soared light speeds ahead of the rate of inflation. It's nice to see that people are working to get Ticketmaster fees included in the stated ticket price but whatever happened to putting a cap on the fees? And when are people gonna call bullshit on insane ticket prices? My guess is never...so when Madonna rolls around in 2012, she'll be charging $2012 per ticket. I can't wait.

It's a wild prediction, but maybe even David Schmader might enjoy this show - didn't he live during the '80s?

The preview of That '80s Show, shot at dress rehearsal Thursday night, is now available at http://flyinghouse.tv/making_that_80s_show.asx

The preview captures the great fun and contagious energy of the concert and is bound to result in last-minute ticket sales. Your last chance to relive the generation of drugs, dreams and drink through its music.
