What city am I even in?

Actually, I'm in my hotel room in Menlo Park, California, a lovely little town next door to Palo Alto and Stanford. Soon getting on the plane to head up to Portland. Last night's event here, at the esteemed Kepler's book store, was another big success featuring most prominently a heroic appearance by our own Gary Younge, who started the day in Philly and flew out here to the left coast for the panel and then had to get up at around 4am today to catch a flight back east to Florida, where he'll attend today's Obama/Bill Clinton rally in Orlando.

Tonight's event is in Portland at the famous Powell's Books, 1005 W Burnside, at 7:30pm. The panel includes, again, Martin Kettle and Tom Powers and myself. Please come see us if you're in the area and come say hello if you're a regular reader.

OK, off to the airport. I'll file a few more posts this afternoon west coast time.
