As faithful readers know, WineRev is spending a few days in Florida with Mama WineRev, so any news on the MN-Sen front will have to come from others for a few days.
However, there is some news on the WineRev front...below the fold.
Shameless Self-Promotion, Part One
First, of course, is the ever-present offer of preorders on Recounting Minnesota: Blogging the Al Franken Saga. We are relying on pre-orders to help get the book printed, so buy early! Buy often! And note that there is a link for you international folk, which is a few bucks higher to help pay for shipping overseas. I don't have the current count from the Rev of Wine, but at last report, close to 60 of you smart people have decided to make this tome a part of your lives. (Bonus: After you read it, the book can be used as a jack if you have to change a tire! It's great for holding up the corner of your deck, too.)
And now, a word from the beach
From a text message I received about 10 minutes ago from WineRev:
At the beach. Good surf, 74-degree water, light breeze. Good Lord above, if Heaven doesn't have a beach, I may not want to go there.
He reports that while she lives in Florida, Mama WineRev doesn't get to the beach often, so this is apparently a nice treat for her too. Their schedule for the rest of the week/weekend: good food, good conversation, good beach. Repeat until his Sunday flight home.
Shameless Self-Promotion, Part Two
If you are in Minnesota on Friday at 6pm CDT, tune your radio to AM950 to hear WineRev on the Mark Heaney Show. Guest host Eric Pusey (our own the Big E) will dedicate the first half hour of the show to "all things WineRev". If you live in MN and can't get the show on your radio, login here. Unfortunately, if you live outside of Minnesota, you won't be able to hear it live, although you can get a link to the podcast (see link above).
Shameless Begging
We are still in need of a couple of key people:
- Graphic designer for book cover
- Copyright lawyer to clarify the permmissions for using comments
Please contact me or WineRev via email (links in our profiles) if you are one of these kinds of people or know someone who is.
Thanks, all.
