<\/a>I’ll do my best to stay the hell out of the way and let the BRAD BLOGGERS take over the joint from here. But I wanted to say thanks in advance to everyone<\/i> (and there are too many to name right now, but you’ll see ’em in action all weekend!) who has helped put things together for this amazing — yes, groundbreaking — event. You guys are incredible, and I am forever indebted.<\/p>\n

Should be a very exciting weekend! And since I have to get a radio show<\/a> together for tomorrow night, I’ll do my best to shut the hell up and let you guys ruin the joint for a while. Have fun! Help yourselves to whatever you want out of the fridge, and don’t mind me one bit if I poke my head in every now and again just to make sure nobody has stolen the silverware.<\/p>\n

By the way, you can all help by spreading the word about this weekend’s event high and low on blogs and bulletin boards around the world! Invite folks over to check out what’s happening<\/a>, since there seems to be much planned! Donations happily accepted<\/a> in the meantime!<\/p>\n

(Thanks to Mike Malloy<\/a> for a great plug last night [MP3]<\/a> on Air America!)<\/p>\n

<\/a>BRAD SHOW UPDATE<\/b>:
\nSo as not to eat up too much room, I’ll just let you know who is currently scheduled for Saturday Night’s BRAD SHOW via RAW RADIO<\/a> (7p-11p ET, 4p-8p PT) and let you go to the BRAD SHOW<\/a> page for more details. But it looks like it’ll be a hot show! Guests include: Rep. SHEILA JACKSON LEE<\/b> (D-TX), London Times’<\/i> MICHAEL SMITH<\/b>, RAW STORY’s LARISA ALEXANDROVNA<\/b>, Karl Rove’s friend BILL ISRAEL<\/b>, JOHN BRAKEY<\/b> & DAVID GRISCOMB<\/b>, a tribute to Andy, Blogathon updates and more!
