The Mother of All Ricochet Meet-Ups
Update: Tickets are now available to reserve here.
Attention all Ricochet members, especially those of you in the south west United States. On July 23rd at 4PM, all members are invited to attend a special taping of Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California. What makes this episode special? Next month marks the 30th anniversary of the “Tear down this wall!” speech given in Berlin on June 12th, 1987. We wanted to interview the writer of one of the 20th century’s most iconic speeches, but the writer of the speech is also the host of our show. What to do? Of course — HIRE SOMEONE ELSE! So, for this show, Ricochet’s own Pat Sajak (OK, he has another job too) will take the Uncommon Knowledge helm and interview the speech’s author, Peter Robinson, and you’re invited to watch the whole thing go down.
Ricochet Reagan and Thatcher members, you’ll receive special seating and all members are invited to join us at a special reception after the interview to meet Pat, Peter, and other Ricochet podcasters and contributors. Tickets will be available on the Reagan Library website. If you can’t make to California for this event, the show will be released on video a few weeks later.
This event is free for all Ricochet members. Not a member? What a great time to join.
Thanks to @ejhill for the illustration.

I’m staying at the Hyatt Regency Westlake, Saturday and Sunday nights.
This Uncommon Knowledge fangirl/Thatcher member would absolutely [HEART] a virtual “Hi, Nanda!” afterwards, just saying. :-)
I’m in for three. Looking forward to it!
Nanda, maybe we can skype you in?
If anyone needs details on local hotels/eateries IM me.
The Whiskey Politics team will be finishing up Freedom Fest in Las Vegas on Sunday morning and heading straight to Reagan Library to see this historical Rico event. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Ooohhh, [happy Panda]!
It is likely that we will live stream the show on Ricochet and on Hoover’s social media pages.
It’s a good excuse for me to use my Hyatt points, only 12,000 a night. I think I’ll do a road trip down from Sacramento. It’d be great to see you again.
We may need more beer.
I’m more a Cabernet kind of guy ;-)
I never registered but my schedule freed up and I can attend. Still seats? Click through to “register” isn’t working.
Will it livestream here? Or at Hoover, @blueyeti?
@annefy, I’d show up wearing something R>, or giving the secret handshake…You’ve got to be G2G, if anyone is… :-)
I would have vouched for you – but it wasn’t needed.
The reception afterwards was great, and nice to see many of you there!
Glad I decided to just show up. A great day
