Just a note to our friends in Texas that National Review Institute will be presenting two regional seminars in the Lone Star State in mid February.

The first one is in Dallas on Wednesday, February 14, when NRI president Lindsay Craig and NR’s intrepid leader Rich Lowry will be joined by a stellar group: Dan McLaughlin, John Yoo, John Buser, Allyson Ho, and Kristen Waggoner. More details here.

I will be jumping into the fray in Houston on Thursday, February 15. There, Lindsay, Dan, Kristen, Professor Yoo, and I will be joined by the estimable Charles Kesler. More details here.

Every time I attend one of these seminars, I feel smarter — and I’m in a good mood for days afterward thanks to sharing the conviviality of friends along with the brilliance of my colleagues. If you’re in the area, do join us. And for more information on NRI events and regional seminars across the country this year, check out NRI’s website, here.
