[Imc] Request for coverage - Michael Moore tonight

[Jay Morris]

John,

I'll bring one of them minidisk contraptions and try to record the talk.
However, my success record with minidisk players is 0-1, so I won't
guarantee anything, and I definitely won't have time to 'cover' this event
(as in writing anything up about it) any time soon.  But I'll try to record
it if noone more minidisk-savvy steps up.  (yes, this is a half-assed offer
from a burning-out student)

Everyone,

I have 2 extra tickets to this show, if anyone is wants them.  The tickets
are all general admission and they were free. I'm not sure whether or not
the show sold out.

Jay
