Lileks, Long, and Goldberg: Live in D.C. (October 28)
Ricochet readers in the Washington D.C. area are cordially invited to join us at the American Enterprise Institute on the evening of Tuesday, October 28 for a book forum on the new essay collection The Seven Deadly Virtues: 18 Conservative Writers on Why the Virtuous Life is Funny as Hell. The panelists for the evening will include Rob Long, James Lileks, and Jonah Goldberg, as well as P.J. O’Rourke and Christine Rosen. The event will be moderated by the collection’s editor, The Weekly Standard’s Jonathan V. Last. You can find all the logistical information about the event here.
Ricochet members should also plain on joining Rob and James for an informal meetup the night before (Monday, October 27), which will take place at the bar in the Mayflower Hotel at 7:30 PM. We hope to see you there!

Should be a great event! Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Oh no, I arrive in DC 2 days later… Bummed to miss you all.
Both are on my calendar. See you folks there.
Is the angel meant to look like Owen Wilson? Cause he sure does.
Sounds outstanding, but I won’t be back in DC until between Christmas and New Year’s.
Speaking of which, I just submitted a RicochetMeetup.com bleg — not posted yet — for those DC-based Ricochetti. Let me know if you’re around!
I’m in for both, should be great.
Monday night???? Who the heck can travel to a meetup on a Monday night?!? Oh yeah people who write for a living….dang. :-)
Anybody know who illustrated the book cover?
Too much going on at work. Won’t be able to make a week night.
Not enough going on at work, so I can probably make it…..
I’m in for Monday.
Excited for our first Meetup. See you all there.
I can make the meetup but not the Tuesday event.
Mr. K and I plan to attend the meetup on Monday. We’re just trying to figure out where to leave Baby K.
I am coming! Should I bring name tags? You’ll recognize me by my RED sweater dress and posh Ricochet tote bag. And the camera, of course.
This is a new baby, right? Bring him! One day he won’t be so portable.
Wish I could be there to see him and everyone else. I have to be out of town.
Okay, ya’ll, if you said you were coming in either thread I have made you a name tag (two pms sent) and there will be blanks.
VERY IMPORTANT: the Redskins are playing the Cowboys in Dallas on Monday Night Football. It might get a little raucous.
She’ll be 8 weeks old this Tuesday. Thanks for the encouragement, Sandy. I wasn’t sure how others would react to us bringing an infant. Mr. K and I have been dragging her to different places – from church to client appointments, even a 2.5 hour long fondue dinner – and she has been good thus far. But they say children make liars of their parents so I brace myself.
PJS, very thoughtful of you, and helpful too.
Sub-caption on my nametag: “Say..My..Name!”
Heisenberg, it’s already printed, but I have Sharpies! See you tonight!
Can I hold her if you bring her? My babies are 21 & 18 to big to cuddle with, and not old enough to give me grandchildren….
