Good point! I'm certain Walter Mondale's speech will lack incessant Lew Latto references and the fecal humor that would be necessary for a good time.

He's endorsing Clinton.
Is this going to be posted on YouTube, Purple?

Well, Clinton may have gotten the Mondale endorsement but I just read that Obama got the coveted Hulk Hogan endorsement.
Get ready for President Obama!

Once I receive the video, It will be uploaded on the Alworth Institute website. The audio will also be broadcast on KUMD soon; I'll post the "when" when it's confirmed.
I would love to hear the comments/criticisms from those who attended the event.
