Live Blogging: John L O’Sullivan at the Hillsborough County Republican Committee Lincoln-Reagan Gala

by Skip

GrokTV logoWe’ll be at the Crowne Plaza in Nashua tonite to livestream (as possible) and record the event for the Hillsborough Republicans as they are hosting John L. Sullivan (Editor-at-large of National Review, former Special Adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, conservative author and columnist).  I expect to get a few interviews along the way.  Recording per normal so if you can’t be there, watch the live stream, we’ll get it up on the ‘Grok later on.

The reception starts at 5:30, the dinner an hour and a half later.  Livestream (the Ustream and Wifi Overlords permitting):

Update: arrived, set up, connected, and we will be live streaming – after the jump!

National Review – 2012 Presidential Primary Panel – Jan 7 in Manchester, NH

by Skip

I spotted this earlier today, but this is the first chance to post it up as blogging during the work day is bad form:

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.

…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.

I went to the same kind of presentation back in 2008 and came back with my tail between my legs knowing that I had just watched three virtuosos do something that I doubt I could ever do – and without evah breaking a sweat:
