Jonah Goldberg, Rob Long, James Lileks, and other NR All-Stars will be in Manchester on Saturday, January 7, for an evening of ruminating, riffing, and debate-watching. And you’re invited! Did I mention the event is free? And that there will be free food?
Joining G, L, & L will be Rich Lowry, Ramesh Ponnuru, Bob Costa, Kathryn Jean Lopez, Uncommon Knowledge host Peter Robinson, and others, all of whom will participate in a great program at the Radisson Hotel Manchester (700 Elm Street). Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the event should end at approximately 11:45 p.m. Here’s the program:
6:30 to 7:35 p.m. — Rich Lowry moderates a panel discussion on the upcoming NH primaries, and more.
7:45 to 8:50 p.m. — Goldberg, Long, & Lileks spend an hour-plus reflecting wisely and wittily on current events.
9:00 to 11:00 p.m. — Join us as we watch (on a big honkin’ screen) the GOP candidates’ debate being broadcast from nearby St. Anselm College.
11:05 to 11:45 p.m. — G, L, & L regroup for an encore performance of pithy observations on the just-watched debate.
Again, the event (plus food!) is free. But it’s limited (to the first 400 people). Yeah, there is parking, but that’s between you and the Radisson. And so are the drinks — we’ll have a bar setup, but we can’t buy everything, so you’ll have to handle your own brewskis.
How to reserve a spot? Simple: Email nhevent@nationalreview.com and tell us the name(s) of those who will be joining us on January 7.
Staying at Mitt's house, are you?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseElm Street in Manchester is the longest dead end street in America. There's a joke there somewhere.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseNot to be a stickler, but technically it's the longest Main St in America that dead-ends on both ends, which sounds like it must have been a very strange survey to take...
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAny chance you'll be live-streaming the event?
By the way, I don't want to tell NR how to run its business, but it seems to me that your line-up would be well worth the price of admission.
Reply to this commentLinkReport Abuse@MSP... "By the way, I don't want to tell NR how to run its business, but it seems to me that your line-up would be well worth the price of admission."
Absolutely agree. I'd pay $50 for a plate of pulled pork on a bun with this event as the featured entertainment (and I if were on that side of the Continental Divide...)

They said it was free. No need to be mean about it.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWell played, sir!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI hope that this event is not merely to gloat, for the New Hampshire primary is the one that Romney is very likely to win.
And then we head south. :-)
I hope there are lots of candidates still in the race when we do.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIt's quite a shame that unlike last time we won't be able to unknowingly drown out the "Hilary for President" event in the next room - what wonderful memories.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhere's Steyn, he can't drive an hour down to be there too?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSounds like a great event! I'd echo the question above -- will this be streamed live? And, please, come do an event like this in Michigan -- Hillsdale is America's premiere Conservative institution; I'm sure something could be worked out!

Sounds like a Ricochet podcast. Maybe they'll just record that section and make it the podcast of the week.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIf my family didn't already hate me for not going home to upstate NY for Christmas I'd be there.
Florida's an important state, too! Bring the road trip down here.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWe are having a primary soon in SC ..... hint hint
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWe had so much fun last time and, even though we'll going to be in Savannah on Saturday, I plan on driving straight through to get there... wouldn't miss this for anything!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAm stuck in Vermont. Envy those who can make it. Looks like a great evening with some great people. Agree that it should include Steyn. You are right in his back yard.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseCan't wait to be there! Thank you so much for putting this together!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI will be there!
