— Two days till IMHO! —
Hey gang! Don't forget our extra-special WYSIWYG show this Tuesday!
IMHO: Blogging, Politics, and Personal Voice
Tuesday, August 31st at 7 p.m.
P.S. 122
150 1st Ave. at East 9th St.
No one can deny that the internet has changed the face of campaigning and politics. From MoveOn.org to candidates' individual web sites, the Internet is playing a crucial role in the upcoming election. One significant aspect of the Internet's influence is the proliferation of weblogs. From the so-called "war-blogs" to the political satire of Wonkette.com to sites devoted to cultural trends and politics in general, blogs have provided an outlet for countless voices who previously had no access to a mass media platform. We have invited some of the most influential and popular bloggers to discuss their experiences and the state of blogging and politics.
With moderator Jeff Jarvis (buzzmachine.com)
And an all-star panel of political blogging heavyweights:
Douglas Rushkoff (Rushkoff.com)
Jen Chung (Gothamist)
Cam Barrett (Camworld)
Julian Sanchez (Hit and Run)
John Aravosis (AmericaBlog)
John Perry Barlow (Barlow.typepad.com)
Please note that Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette) has dropped out due to another obligation. As far as we know, everyone else is still on, though!
Tickets are $7, and can be purchased the night of the panel or in advance by calling 212-477-5288 or by visting TicketWeb!
This event is presented as part of the Imagine Festival of Arts, Issues & Ideas, a citywide cultural festival designed to inspire, instigate and support civic engagement. From August 28–September 2 the Imagine Festival will present over 100 cultural events in 6 days including concerts, performances, forums, town meetings, exhibits, screenings, and other issue-based artworks.
Brought to you by P.S. 122 and CultureBot, as always. Ain't they sweet?
and don't forget to meet us after the panel for drinks at Open Air Bar on St. Mark's near Ave. A!!!
