" Garrison Keillor Tackling Many Projects"
T. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Lake Wobegon's gotten a little more stressful these days. Shooting begins Wednesday on a film version of Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion," bringing him together with director Robert Altman and a star-studded cast including Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Lindsay Lohan.

Next weekend, Keillor launches a weekly newspaper column. About a dozen newspapers have signed up for the column, according to Tribune Media Services.

2. Has that guy ever suffered from Writer's Block?!
Lord, but he's prolific! If you haven't read "Homegrown Democrat," do treat yourself. It's a wonderful book.

3. I'll second reading that book.
He's coming to town on his tour but I haven't the money for tickets. Would have been nice to try and get him to sign the book.

5. HA! I'm in enough trouble with the State as it is
;)


It's in a great venue, too, Louisville Palace. Beautiful venue.

Maybe I could camp out by the back door and wait for him. ;)
