1. Matt Singer and the great folks at Forward Montana have kindly booked me to speak at Fact and Fiction in Missoula on Thursday, July 23rd. All the details are here. Come on out for a lovely evening of discussion and the latest news from DC.

2. Adam and the good people at the Oregon Bus Project have expanded the fun of just me into me + Steve Novick  + Carla Axtman = This Is Your Brain On Politics, a rousing discussion of creating change out of our existing tools. But never fear, it's still at Bipartisan Cafe, the venue that most fits my personality and message.

All the details are here, and the invitation is below the fold. Sunday, July 19th in Portland. Come on out and spread the word.
