1. What time should we arrive at the venue to get in and, if possible, get a good seat?
2. Do you have any other advice vis a vis attending a taping? (I'd really like to get Johnny Gilbert's autograph.)
Thanks for your help! [/quote]
1. Early. Last year at Yale, there were far more tix than seats...and many got to watch the festivities on tv while waiting on line...you want a seat, get their early.
2. Have fun. Alex does Q&A with the audience often...he does not give autographs...he does give good answers to good , insightful questions...which means, if you want to ask him "Uh, were you drunk on the High Rollers finale", don't. Then again, if you really think he was drunk, you shouldn't be anywhere near this intelligent tournament. (This goes for all of you.)
Johnny is very approachable, and a helluva nice guy. He does autographs, pictures...he'll even let you pet his dog, which chances are , is there along with his lovely wife.
Have a good time...it's a tremendous experience!
