So I have a couple tickets to hear Bill Clinton speak live on November 5th. I’m not even all that sure why I bothered to pick them up. I’m sure he’s an inspiring speaker, but I’d so much rather listen to a recorded speech at home than go to a live one. I do not want to have to wait in line overnight or even for a few hours to get a decent seat (people lined up in sleeping bags outside my school to get the tickets in the first place, I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to imagine people doing it for good seating). I don’t want to have to strain to hear what the speck is saying from nosebleed row. And I really don’t want to sit in a crowd with a few thousand of my closest friends. (Me + herds = cranky me)<\/p>\n
Still, these were free tickets that explicitly say “do not sell” so the classic test for how badly someone would want them is obviously out. I know there are plenty of people at school who would gnaw my hand off at the wrist for them. I’m way more apathetic about it all. *shrug*<\/p>\n
For the record, this is not an offer or a request for bribes, though I may later make such an offer\/request, we’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
