October 5, 2005 -- A pep rally to be held tomorrow in Central Park for Al Gore's new cable channel for young people, Current TV, is sold out, according to the event's Web site.
Tickets were free...
Instructions on the site indicate that there might be some tickets at the entrance available to those who register online for a waiting list.
The event, called "Take Back TV," is scheduled to run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Central Park's Rumsey Playfield, best known as the site of SummerStage.
Besides promoting the fledgling cable channel, Take Back TV is aimed at enlisting the participation of its young target audience.
Programming on Current TV, which is available here on Ch. 103 on Time Warner Cable, is partially dependent on video contributed by viewers. So-called "viewer-created content" comprises about 30 percent of all programming on Current, according to the channel.
To drum up needed support, Gore will be on hand Thursday to introduce musical performances by De la Soul, Fishbone, Slum Village and others. The former vice president is a co-founder of Current, which launched Aug. 1.
Last April, a similar event — held before Current launched — attracted an estimated 6,000 participants outside Current's San Francisco headquarters.
Another Take Back TV concert/rally is scheduled in Philadelphia on Oct. 20.

A slum lord introducing a band called "Slum Village". Oh the irony.
I don't know about that, but Gore would sell out his country for free.
We can hope he does . . ..
LOL on your imagery, but OMG and for sure, , ,too painful to watch. . .
Ever actually watch Current TV? It's the video version of Err America. It should be called "Marxist TV". I watch for the purpose of determining which advertisers are sponsoring this freak experiment, thereby knowing what retailers to avoid. So far, it seems GEICO Insurance, Progressive Insurance, and Google have been underwritting this disaster, which is fine because I don't support any of them.

LOL! Excellent!
I've seen longer Lotto lines in New York.
