Mark Your Schedules

I’m working on stuff that I will post later this PM. But in the meantime, I wanted to draw your attention to two upcoming events.

First, on Friday, May 22, at 10:45 AM ET, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse will be joining us at the front page for a chat. He’ll be here for 45 minutes, and Senators’ schedules are always subject to change, so plan to be flexible. In the meantime, be sure to think of questions and mark your schedule for Friday morning. Here’s your chance to pose all the intelligent questions you’ve said you’d like to ask Senator Whitehouse in comments.

Second, as you may have heard, the Hillman Foundation has honored me with their award for blogging this year. I’ll be traveling to NYC next Wednesday to receive the award. Like any blogger, my success is really a tribute as much to the quality of our community as to any thing I do, so I’d love to see those of you from the NYC area there.

Here’s the invite. The ceremony is at:

Wednesday, May 27, 2009
5:30 – 8:00 PM
Program begins promptly at 6:30 PM

Hudson Theater at the
Millennium Broadway Hotel
145 West 44th Street, New York City

But you gotta RSVP and attire is businesswear (so you probably shouldn’t dress like DFHers).  There are a lot of great honorees, including Jane Mayer, so even if I bore you, the others won’t.

And if you plan to attend, drop a comment in the thread so I know to look out for you.
