My husband Brian Russell and I are hosting an informal reception for Congressman Brad Miller to meet local bloggers and talk politics. Although he doesn't represent our congressional district, I feel like Brad often represents us in spirit by supporting many of the causes near and dear to Orange County's heart.
I think he's a very smart guy, and the fact that he wants to do an event like this speaks volumes about his values. You don't have to be a blogger and you don't have to give a contribution to come. Hope to see some of you there.
Please Join Congressman Brad Miller for a discussion hosted by Ruby Sinreich of OrangePolitics.org and Brian Russell of Yesh.com about the impact of blogging on today's political environment.
When: Thursday, November 29, 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Where: Mill Town Restaurant, 307 E Main St, CarrboroSuggested Donation: $10

The women's basketball game is on TV and starts at 7 that night, so we may see if we can get Mill Town to flip to ESPN2...

Ruby and Brian,
It's very unfortunate that the time of this get-together conflicts with the UNC Community meeting (5:30 -7:00 PM) regarding the University's plans for their Innovation Center at Carolina North. I know that you didn't create the time conflict but it will probably be a difficult choice for some.
I hope someone is planning on making a video and/or audio recording of this for those of us unable to attend... :)
The suggested donation goes toward what?
I posted a yes on Facebook, hope to be there.
