[Ig Nobel Events] remaining Ig Nobel tickets go on sale Thursday at noon

[Marc Abrahams]

Dear fellow Ig Nobel community member, so to speak:

The remaining Ig Nobel tickets will go on sale this Thursday, September 9, at noon. 
We held these back (as per tradition) until after the school year started, 
to give returning students (and everyone else) a chance.

They may be purchased in person at the Harvard Box Office, Holyoke Center Arcade, Harvard Square, or by phone 617-496-2222 (no internet sales). Tickets limited to 2 per person. We expect a high demand for this limited number of tickets; please plan or sigh accordingly.

***

A few ceremony details:

Neil Gaiman (author), Toshiyuki Nakagaki (slime mold researcher, and past Ig Nobel Prize winner), and Mary Ellen Davey (mouth bacteria researcher) will give the 24/7 Lectures at this year’s Ig Nobel Prize ceremony.  Each 24/7 lecturer will explain his or her subject twice:
First, a complete technical description in TWENTY-FOUR (24) SECONDS, and then a clear summary that anyone can understand in SEVEN (7) WORDS.

Full ceremony info is at http://improbable.com/ig/2010/
See you at the Ig!

Ps. Amanda Palmer, who will be both performing and assisting in the ceremony, will be taking that night off from her starring role in the musical "Cabaret", produced by the American Repertory Theater. Here are details about "Cabaret": http://www.americanrepertorytheater.org/events/show/cabaret
