Before you purchase your Northrop Auditorium tickets you may want to have a copy of your Northrop Auditorium seating chart so you are aware of where your Northrop Auditorium tickets are located.

The Northrop Auditorium holds a whopping 4800 people - which is almost double of the Orpheum Theater. The State Theater and Pantages Theater hold only around 1000 people.

Although when a lot of people think of the Northrop Auditorium they think of all the different concerts they have attended there, the Northrop also has a distinguished presence around the University. The Northrop hosts graduation ceremonies for all schools at the University of Minnesota. Also, the Northrop Auditorium hosts several events for the University like conferences lectures from renowed authors and artists. The Northrop has hosted lectures from T.S. Eliot and Robert Frost.

Ground broke on the Northrop Auditorium in 1928. The site that it is now on used to be the College of Pharmacy's garden. The Northrop Dance seasons are very important to the history of the auditorium. The first dance season began in 1970-71 with the Northrop's commitment to be a premier international ballet and contemporary, national, and cultural dance venues.

If you are on the U of MN campus the Northrop Auditorium is a beautiful building that is worthy of a tour. The Northrop Auditorium's history is shown throughout the entire building, every renovation takes special steps to preserve the rich and historic setting of the Northrop Auditorium building.

It baffles me why Ron Paul would be see with the likes of Michelle Bachmann -- a science hating, corporatists (neo-fascist) with a pathetically low IQ. Maybe Congressman Paul is confused about who is robbing the American people of their democracy. Yes the Federal Reserve is part of the problem but so are the "free market" global corporations. The global-corporate system that Bachmann idolizes (and gets her money from) constitutes the very same international crime syndicate behind the destruction of individual rights, the American Constitution, and national sovereignty--not to mention the global environment.

Michelle Bachmann is great at talking about the Second Amendment--like she is seriously looking out for your freedom. Bachmann and her ilk (Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh) are actually naked fascists. And so you rally around people like her to protect your rights when, in actuality, she wants to strip them away as fast as she can and then make you get down on you hands an knees and pray to her God of Greed (they like to call it Jesus but it has nothing to do with Jesus of Nazareth).

And so your self delusions about Ayn Rand, and how you are going to keep your personal wealth in gold, and your gun fetish look absolutely pathetic because you don't have a clue about the magnitude of the problem. And you work your butts off helping your enemy subjugate America. By the way, it's one thing for you to kill an unarmed, middle aged census taker. (wow--that was a real heroic blow against the Fed.) It's another to hold your little gun in the air when Blackwater kicks your door in. What are you going to do then, hide behind you wives and children?

The "free markets" won't save you from fascism, or totalitarianism, because they are fascism and they are leading us toward totalitarianism. (want to live in China?) But maybe fascism is what you wanted all along because you gleefully opened Pandoras Box with all of your utopian clap-trap about "free markets" and how they will always correct themselves, etc. But oops, the monopolies took over our government. Who's going to correct that--you with your little gun?

Make no mistake, they will take your guns and your gold. No amount of bravado is going to change that.
