Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, my all time ever favorite NPR show… I like it even better than I used to like Calling All Pets and I didn’t think that was possible.. is coming to Fairbanks in August and not only are the tickets actually reasonably priced so that I can afford them, but I already have two coming to me in the mail.
