Yes! Ira rocks!
The live show was to promote the t.v. show (starting March 22nd) and it really made me wish that we had Showtime! I guess I'll have to wait for the dvds.

Also: bits of this and other live performances will be made into a radio show aired on KUOW 94.9 FM (?!?!) on Saturday, March 17th at 11:00.

we got a "sneak preview" DVD of the TV show with our public radio donation in the fall, but we haven't watched it yet. it can't be as fun as the live show!
