In the comments downblog, a few people asked if I planned to meet up with Bay Area readers while I was in town. This slipped my mind, actually, but as it happens I’m free Thursday night. So here’s the deal: I’m going to be largely tied up most of the day, so someone will have to organize this in the comment section. If it’s just one or two people, that’s fine. If it’s a bigger crowd, that’s great too. I have a strong craving for Chinese food at the moment, but anything else will do if the masses speak up in unison for something different. I can make it to any place that’s fairly easily accessible from downtown.

So…..any takers for dinner on Thursday? I’ll try to check in around noon, and if there’s some kind of consensus I’ll post it as an update.

UPDATE: I don’t have access to comments at the moment, but compromising a bit between various suggestions, times, and closeness to my hotel….how about R&G (on Kearney just north of Sacramento) at 7:00? Can I get a show of hands in comments for how many people are OK with that? (It’s fine to show up late or leave early, of course.)

CONFIRMATION: This is to confirm the meetup. We’ll be at R&G at 7:00 tonight. It looks like maybe half dozen folks will be there. But maybe more! See you there.

DONALD TRUMP & DEMOCRACY

Mother Jones was founded to do journalism differently. We stand for justice and democracy. We reject false equivalence. We go after stories others don’t. We’re a nonprofit newsroom, because the kind of truth-telling investigations we do doesn’t happen under corporate ownership.

And we need your support like never before, to fight back against the existential threats American democracy faces. Fundraising for nonprofit media is always a challenge, and we need all hands on deck right now. We have no cushion; we leave it all on the field.

It’s reader support that enables Mother Jones to report the facts that are too difficult, expensive, or inconvenient for other news outlets to uncover. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
