Miscellaneous

Although I?m not much of an activist, I?ve signed up for this year?s Rising Tide conference, to be held Saturday, August 22, in New Orleans. The conference is a gathering of NOLA bloggers and other lovers of New Orleans ?to expand their on-line advocacy for the rebirth of New Orleans into a public event.? As a bonus, participants get to meet face-to-face some of the people they?ve developed on-line friendships with.

This year?s keynote speaker will be Harry Shearer. I?m hoping to get his autograph on my copy of ?Smell the Glove.? I?m also hoping to get Greg Peters?s autograph on my copy of the commemorative poster he created (see picture at left).
