My wife and I went out Friday night to Johns Hopkins’ Shriver Hall to hear polit­i­cal activist, doc­u­men­tary film­maker and best-​selling author, Michael Moore. About 5,000 people showed up which is 4,000 more than the little audi­to­rium could hold, so Michael spent the first half hour talk­ing to folks out on the lawn while the early arrivers like us sat watch­ing clips from TV Nation and The Awful Truth.

When Mike finally came out, he gave a pretty good pre­sen­ta­tion: a read­ing from his book, a test to see whether Amer­i­cans knew who the prime min­is­ter of Canada is (not Jean Pou­tine), and some Q&A. Kellie and I bought a copy of his latest book, Dude, Where’s My Coun­try but the line to get auto­graphs was really long, so we went home. A pretty good night, all things con­sid­ered, and com­pletely free since we neglected to stop for dinner.
