Before there was Mark Steyn, before there was Lileks, there was PJ O'Rourke.
Great news just announced, this grand old man of conservative comedic commentary is coming to town Tuesday, April 29 for a FREE show at Northrup Auditorum. Our friends at the Taxpayer's League of Minnesota are co-sponsors (along with Collegians For A Constructive Tomorrow and a number of others) for what promises to be a highly entertaining and thought-provoking night.
And did I mention it was FREE? In what may be a nod to O'Rourke's freedom loving impulses there is no price for admission. In fact, there aren't even any tickets to be had. According to the promotional web site, getting in will be a matter of Social Darwinistic survival of the fittest:
WE HAVE UP TO 4,000 SEATS TO FILL! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE!
No need to bring your tire irons and brass knuckles, I'm sure. These are conservatives, civilized people, we're talking about. Instead, best preparation probably means nodding to another O'Rourke impulse, alcohol. Visit Stub & Herb's, the Big 10, Keegan's or any of the other bars in the U of M area, get properly oiled and be at Northrup shortly before 7 PM. Don't you dare miss it.
