Movin' On Up(Town)
Occasional THOTS contributor David Bernstein has launched his own blog, The Uptown Digital Salon. It will focus on various aspects of media and publishing -- but on the smaller, self-publishing, alternative, indie side of things. David's worked for a number of big publishers, has managed to emerge with his integrity intact and has lots of insights with which to share with budding authors and publishers.

He'll have one cool post coming up this week about the most important person that a self-publisher needs to hire.
Oh, for reasons that escape me, he also feels the need to blog about the "lost" season of Project Runway. Aside from that, this looks to be a cool blog (and not just because David is letting me return the favor and do some occasional cross-posting over there).
Check it out.

Boulder Bound
So, I'm flying out to Colorado this weekend to participate in the Conference on World Affairs, held annually at the University of Colorado. I will be immersed in several panels, sitting side-by-side "Simpsons" writers, lead singers of old punk bands and the occasional conservative think tank type. Follow the site above to find out exactly what panels I'll be on.
We'll be discussing everything from civil liberties to torture to evil Hollywood to feminism and so on.
I will try to weigh in every now and then from Boulder, but to guarantee that there will be fresh content at RT next week, some guest-bloggers will drop in. RT regular, football maven and all-around Brett Favre-hater, Ed McGonigal will be offering some of his political insights (probably dissing Barack Obama as much as he can). And, for the first time here, my friend David Bernstein (who is not the same guy who blogs over at the Volokh Conspiracy) will weigh in on something or other. David is a long-time veteran of the publishing world; his latest venture -- among many hats -- is The New Pamphleteer.
Please treat them as you would...ah, who am I kidding? You'll do what you'll always do -- get feisty and say what's on your mind!
And we wouldn't have it any other way!
Ed and David, thanks in advance! Have fun while I'm away.
