"Many of you were fascinated to read last week that 1,200 tickets for a speech by Al Gore disappeared in 10 minutes - in Idaho. As I wrote then, the demand convinced Boise State University officials to move the former VP's January 22 address to the Taco Bell Arena. Well guess what? When those seats went on sale Tuesday, all 10,000 were snapped up in less than five hours. Two thousand tickets were held back for Boise State students, many of whom won't be back on campus until winter break ends next week. "I understand the tickets went faster for this than for the Elton John concert," says Garry Wenske, director of the BSU-based Frank Church Institute, which is bringing in Gore to keynote its "Global Warming: Beyond the Inconvenient Truth" conference. (The British pop star's concert last fall nearly sold out in a day - but not quite.)"
