wow… $123 for front floors, $67 for nose-bleeds.  NdGT is big time, yo.

I could see six Mountain Goats for the price of one Neil deGrasse Tyson.

I never got the point of paying for lectures, speeches, etc…

Are you logged into your Space account?

What's the difference between paying for that and paying for a music concert?

I agree with Yada…

Only time I ever did something tantamount to paying for a lecture was to meet Salman Rushdie because I worship him… it was very much worth it…I had to buy the book ahead of time and Politics and Prose and they gave me two tickets to go hear him speak at 6th and I.. after the speaking we all got in line and were able to meet him, say a few words and get him to sign a book or two..

at some point it became ok to charge people as part of your promotional book tour…. and obviously people have too much money..

I'm sure you're just trollin' me or playing devil's advocate, but I think you basically agreed with me here.

thanks space.

I once went to see a debate between Leary, Hoffman and Sliwa at UMd…I recall it being well worth whatever I paid.

Other than a Jello Biafra spoken word event nearly 30 years ago, I can't think of a speech/lecture that I've paid to see.

That said, if it's a unique spoken word event that I can't pull up on youtube or netflix or something like that…sure I totally get the point of paying for it.

ok… so we agree, thanks for playing.

This is such a riveting discussion.  We need a "what is worth money and what is not" thread.

Well, he's really organized as his email says the exact opposite. Actually, his email is correct, you're posting the tour from last summer.
