The Perils of Procrastination

Show tickets have been on sale for one week, and 25% of them are now gone. 25%--in just one week! As for the dinner tickets, half of them have been sold.

This may be making some of you nervous because you haven't yet purchased a ticket. What's up---price got you down? It's for a great cause, and much will be tax-deductible. Still not sure?

There are plenty of tickets left, so don't worry. I'm sure there will still be one left when you get around to filling out the ticket order and sending in your check.

So feel free to put this off.

Hey, everyone else will do the same, I'm sure.

I mean, really. How fast could these tickets go?

Besides, what's the hurry? It's probably the one and only time Garrison Keillor will visit Zumbrota or the immediate area. So what if it'll be one of the rare times we'll have a BIG celebrity on our LITTLE stage? This man has so much stage presence there may not be room for the musicians. Sure, you can go see a performance of A Prairie Home Companion for less money, but it'll be you and about a zillion other people.

But at the State? It'll be you and 279 other people. That's it.

But no worries. Go ahead and procrastinate.

I'm sure the show will be just as enjoyable standing outside in the cold with your ear pressed against the stucco wall....

really.
