Just drawing you in here. Got Chicago?

I know you hate these plugs, but we…do too! But they are worth it if they make one more of you cool peeps sign up. Yes, because we take your money–as you may have heard, it’s a fundraiser for us, to help us do cool new things (don’t you like the new media blog, by the way? And Bench Memos?) and keep doing the worthwhile things we’re already doing–hopefully making your stays here informative, entertaining, enriching. But we also want you with us in Chicago because it’s going to be a lot of fun, based on previous events. You’ll meet some good people (our readers never disappoint) and ask some of the burning questions you’ve been wanting to of some of the NR crew (Who was the writer paid only in beer for the first year of NRO? Tell us about the details of the Goldberg-Lowry prison rescue. What…you said Kathryn is actually a Roddenberry? ). There’s actually some stirring intellectual discussion too. Anyway, give it some thought it you can. You won’t be disappointed and we’re most grateful that you’d consider. Here are the details. Thanks a ton.
