Yesterday I reported that at tonight's speech at Portland State by fired Seattle U.S. Attorney John McKay, admission is free. In fact, as a reader alertly pointed out, that is not true. I thought otherwise because of an e-mail message that had been sent to people at my place of work offering free admission. That offer was good only for members of that group.

However, we do know that the sponsors of the event want a packed house, and so if you can't afford the tickets (I believe they are listed as $25 and $15), you may be able to plead poverty at the door and get yourself in without paying. It may depend on how many paying ticketholders show up.

Apologies for the confusion.
