I felt compelled to write in our poor neglected Portland blog. Laurie and I got to see Ira Glass last weekend. I heart him. Laurie hearts him. We heart him.
We got there early so we were a mere three rows away from him (general admission baby). I was mesmerized just listening to him. It was an interview about his new book, The New Kings of Non-Fiction, his showtime version of This American Life, and of course the radio version.
April Behr (SP?) is an OPB journalist and was the person interviewing him. We think she tanked the interview. Perhaps Ira's presence made her nervous and she started blathering things that no one cared about. We were pretty sure Ira didn't like her either. But he's a gentleman and was a gracious guest and totally kept the interview alive. If I could have put her on mute that would have been awesome. I could listen to Ira all day long. I wonder if that's how his wife feels?
Did I mention we heart him?
