Sign the Apocalypse is Upon Us

The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce recently announced Ben Stein as the keynote speaker for this year's annual meeting. Pretty cool, I thought, I'm in... until I read down and there's an $85 cover charge. Whoa, I dig Big Ben but that seems steep.

Then I look for a little perspective. John Mayer, whose music I have recently developed an affinity for is also in town this month. His show cost $50. By the time you figure in service charges and parking Mayer is still cheaper than Stein.

What are we coming to?
