You lucky dog!

I can only imagine the enthusiasm and excitement in the room. It must feel comforting to see so many fans there. She is very special and I imagine her fans are too.

It must have felt like you were in a room with soulmates!

A little jealous if I’m honest.

Lucky bug!

Because I understand that it's her voice reading her own book.
I'm always disappointed every week night after she signs off. If I purchase the audio book, then I can listen to her at will.

Excellent idea!

It’s good so far. I travel a bit for work now and I’m listening a bit at a time.

That was a great thing to do.

Her name is Rachel Maddow and she's a brilliant journalist who has a program at 9 Eastern on MSNBC. You should watch it some time. It's very good for surviving these turbulent times.

sorry, I just couldn't resist

Oh wait...he needs a college degree first.

What a great experience!

With her making the drinks, of course.

Last night as I left the theater, several other fans and I agreed that we'd love to take her out for a beer and chat. She is as genuine and self deprecating as you would imagine. And so damned funny!

Intelligent/insightful/deep conversation AND largemouth bass.
Whaddayawant!!??

Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤

We've seen Rachel a time or two here in Cambridge. She is certainly one of the great minds reporting these days. And real nice, funny in person as you saw.

We wanna see! Beautiful pictures of our smiling DU friend and our wonderful news caster.

...and this older gay man finds her absolutely adorable. Rachel rocks. And when broadcast awards are handed out, Rachel should get a Pulitzer for her steady, on-point reporting about the tRump* nightmare that consumes us. Rachel rocks!

But I'm a straight female - and I have a total crush on her....

Especially don't tell her beloved Susan!

Or my husband. (He already knows.)



On edit: Totally support the Pulitzer idea.

I’m reading it right now and have been recording all her press for the book, but to be able to sit listen live is awesome

I'm sooooooooo happy for you. I'm watching her show now-DVR'd from just a little over an hour ago (Mon. 10/7) and she mentioned she's in L.A. which is where I live. Obviously, I wasn't able to get tickets.

I've been a fan of hers when I first discovered her on Air America. I worked at a career college and my hours were 1 p.m. - 10 p.m. I'm normally a morning person but the job was a great opportunity so I took it. Also, it was about an hour from where I lived with no traffic. Anyway, her show aired at around 10 at night. There was also a guy on the show named Kent who was kind of a side-kick but it was mainly her show. It was in the early 2000's and no one had heard of her. That program made my drive home a delight! She was amazing even way back then.

I actually predict that someday there'll some kind of "Rachel Maddow Excellence in Journalism" award given to those who excel in this arena.

He's an award winning comedy writer.

I haven't seen him on Rachel's in years. I wonder what's up, and hope he's well. Anybody know?

I watch her show faithfully whenever I can. She fills you in on things that most of the mainstream media ignores - but which are nevertheless mighty important - not only the front story, but also the back story, and the side stories as well.

It was a part of her book tour for her new book BLOWOUT. It was offered by the San Francisco City Arts & Lectures program. There are maybe ten or so stops for her all across the country. She was in Tulsa, OK on Saturday, San Francisco on Sunday, and LA last night. Hence her show aired from LA.

I don't know what her personal charities are either. That would be interesting to understand. I'm sure she is very generous.

Lucky You, Wish I could see her in person. She is the best

And marking so I can hear the audio.

Sounds like a terrific event!
