The City Visible

February 18th, 2008 by Mike

Congrats to Sheila for her four photo spread in the pulp version of today’s New York Times.

The article is here and the nine photo multimedia slide show is here. This after her first hit in the New Yorker. Looks like someone forgot to tell her she is still in school.

Iraq Veteran, Paul Rieckhoff, Reads from his Memoir at The Strand

August 21st, 2006 by Mike

My Friend Paul Rieckhoff will be reading from his new book Chasing Ghosts: A Soldier’s Fight for America from Baghdad to Washington on Tuesday, Aug 22 at 7:00PM at The Strand in Manhattan. Paul is a veteran of the Iraq war and Executive Director of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA).

Paul is as smart as they come and engaging speaker. You can see his recent appearances on Colbert Report, Fox News, and MSNBC’s Hardball.

This promises to be an insightful event and, if I know Paul, there will be a lively discussion following the reading.

The first person to tell Paul the name of the current Secretary of the VA will win a free signed copy of the book.
