4. Not sure. We don't get it on Dish Network.

We did on Direct TV Network. I sure hope Dish will carry it. I have been checking the news, but nothing yet.

6. is anyone going to this on Tuesday afternoon?

I'm thinking about taking a half-day and going (I'm also going to the party for Sen. Breaux that night at the Aquarium). If so, I'd love to meet up with any DUers that will be there. Anyone?
