Busy, busy

I'm participating tomorrow in the National Writers Workshop, which is being held in Seattle this year (and is being sponsored by the Seattle Times).

I'm taking part in a panel discussion on blogging with Tom Brown, one of the Times' in-house bloggers. We plan to explain to all the hapless journalists out there how blogs are going to take over the world. Or something like that.

It's just a two-person panel (Josh Marshall was supposed to join us, but has apparently backed out). I'm especially looking forward to meeting Charles Pierce, who's kicking things off with a discussion bright and early at 9 a.m. I guess he'll still be operating on East Coast time, giving a talk that early in the day.

Our panel will be from 2-3 p.m. Unfortunately, it costs a chunk of change to participate in the workshop -- otherwise I'd urge anyone interested to turn out. But, hopefully, we'll still have a nice-sized audience -- and of course, we also hope to make it an interesting discussion. I'll report back.
