Tonight We’re Going to Party Like It’s 1929
Just stopping by on my way to Las Vegas and Biloxi to invite all of my fellow Urbanagora correspondents as well as our Blog’s gentle readers to our annual weekend houseparty, Kittencon.
It’s always a blast. Over the past decade, we’ve had a Tasmanian, an Internet porn actress from Montreal, Washington lobbyists, a Russian Professor from Dalhousie, a regular on Dr. Demento, and a belly-dancing class. The fun of the party is that you never quite know who you’re going to be sitting next to on the couch.
I’d love to see each and every one of you there.
Live like a Rockstar. Love like it’s your last day on Earth. Learn like your future depends on it.

Andrew Mwenda is incredible. Sometime in the middle of his talk you will hear Bono speak out. It makes me not like Bono. The TEDBlog covers the feud between Bono and Mwenda.
One of the best economists out there, William Easterly, has a short blog post on Mwenda. Mwenda established a newspaper in Uganda, The Independent, after being frustrated by government censorship of the newspaper that previously employed him.
