Bonus

*Update: I posted a favorite Carlin clip below...dedicated to the nuns of St. Mary's, who tried (in vain) to save my little girl soul. Enjoy! *

So, we got tickets to see Bill Maher at the end of next month. Our first pick was George Carlin, but it sold out too fast. I kept on checking, though. Monday, I looked at an email on the community list I subscribe to. A local guy was looking to sell his two extra tickets to Carlin. I got them! Now I am going to sell my Bill Maher tickets the same way---on the local list serve. Don't get me wrong, I love Bill. We just can't rationalize seeing two shows in a month, financially. Not right now.

George Carlin live-this Saturday! He's taping another HBO special, and it will air that same night. I can't believe it worked out, and we get to see him. An evening of laughter sounds mighty fine. Here's a link to information about the broadcast.

You made the best choice in my opinion, FWIW.

Awesome. I've never seen Carlin - I need to do that! I like Bill also, but if you have to choose, you definitely chose wisely.

Love it! Carlin is a comedy genius, and I espouse his feelings toward religion. The nuns would be ashamed of me, too!

George Carlin is the BEST! I'm tuning in a bit late, here, so you've already been -and I'll bet it was a wonderful evening!

Just saw the HBO show. Classic Carlin! What an outstanding and relevant topic. "It's all bullshit and it's bad for you". He'll NEVER run out of material on that subject.
