BOOOOORING !!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to pay $32.50 to listen to a speaker say ‘ahem’ , ‘you know’, ‘like’, ‘ah’ non stop this is for you. What was I thinking ?!! What an idiot I am, I could have gone to an Elliot Bay book reading for free and it would have been more compelling. A good story teller can make the State Liquor Board riveting.

If Sarah Vowell was talking about Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt Romney, she would manage maybe one chuckle per hour at best – that is how boring she is. I bet she could not even point out any amusing contradictions those 3 clowns live and breathe.

My wife and I earn less than a King County trash collector, but after 25 minutes we walked out. $65 dollars wasted, and late night babysitting arranged for nothing.

Why would you spend $65 on an author / story teller that you're not interested in? Having listened to/read Sarah Vowell for a long time, she's pretty reliable in her Sarah Vowell-ness. Were you just talking a random gamble on an event?
