Meet Me at Netroots Nation

The most counterintuitive, surprising, and impactful new stories delivered to your inbox every Thursday.

One more announcement for the weekend: This coming week, I’ll be in Providence, Rhode Island, attending Netroots Nation 2012 from June 7 to 10. If you’re also going and would like to arrange a meetup, leave a comment or send me an e-mail and we’ll work out a time and a place. I’m going to a whole bunch of panels, gatherings, and and parties (particularly the Center for Reproductive Rights’ Pro-Choice Dance Party on Friday night), so there should be ample opportunity!
