I'm pleased to announce that along with PZ Myers and Wendy Northcutt (genius of the Darwin Awards), I'll be heading up the science panel at Yearly Kos, Friday, June 9 in Las Vegas. This is the progressive blogosphere's mega-convention; its theme is "Uniting the Netroots." The keynote speaker will be none other than Harry Reid. The event itself will run for four days (June 8-11) and will be located at the Riviera Hotel in Vegas. Thousands are expected; you should be one of them.
I'm honored and excited to have been invited to speak and to be part of this massive and important event. As I said in the press release announcing the science panel: "When I got the invite from Yearly Kos, I picked up a copy of my book and said to it: 'We're going to Vegas, baby.'"
You should bring a bunch of signed copies of your book to sell (at least 15 a day). I bet they will sell quick.
Harry "Less $ from Abramoff than a couple of the really bad Republicans" Reid? Oh my. Well, I guess it's clear enough that Kos and Co. are getting set to lead us down the same primrose path of lesser-evilism as in 2004. Prepare yourself for "Lt. Clinton, reporting for duty!" What we need here is a new paradigm, and the "left" blogosphere/netsphere (the institutional one, anyway) as exemplified by the likes of Kos and MoveOn is so caught up in the old one that they don't seem to be aware of it. Sigh.
You're still bitter about being cut from Swingers, aren't you.
Good luck at the convention, that's awesome news.
I'm asking early, can I get an autograph in your book?
Absolutely.
