Noam Sold Out Wednesday

Noam Chomsky is coming on Wednesday to talk about what he consistently talks about, this time titled "Illegal but Legitimate: A Dubious Doctrine for the Times." The good news is that he's going to be at the large-ish venue, Meany Theatre, at UW and tickets are free. That would have been great news for you maybe a week ago, though, which leads us to the bad news: It's sold out. Seattlest is quite sure that both the linguistic and political sides of Chomsky would have issues with a free event being "sold out," but there it is.

If you don't already have a ticket you'll have to settle for listening to Noam on the radio. He's going to be on KUOW at 9am for a conversation with Steve Scher and then again at 9pm when the station broadcasts the lecture that you'd be attending if you bothered calling about a free ticket. The talk will be aired on The Seattle Channel as well, but so far there is no official scheduling there. As always, Craigslist is ready to indulge your desperate desires.
