Our favorite young kossack is coming to the Big Apple on his East Coast college tour, and we're planning a meetup for next Wednesday, June 23.
For those of you who don't know populista, he is probably the most amazing teenager you'll ever meet. When he started posting on DailyKos we didn't know that he was only 14 years old. He writes, thinks, acts and brings the snark like someone with many more years under his belt.
I've had the pleasure to get to know this amazing kid online and offine, and was honored to serve on a Netroots Nation panel with him last year.
Details for the meetup are still being worked out.
Look for upcoming diaries (or if you want to get an email update and are not on the meetup list, drop me an email and I'll make sure you get the info).
We're working finding the perfect venue, and any suggestions are welcome. Requirements include: location in Manhattan -- convenient to those coming from the boroughs, way upper west side and Jersey, must have food and drink but not require that everyone order a sit-down meal, isn't too loud for talking and can handle a group of 20 or so. Oh, and an outdoor space would be great.
Sorry for the short diary, but I wanted to get the word out so people can save the date.
