Important Announcement

I'll be one of the panelists on tonight's 4802.

4802 is QED's revamping of their old OffQ Friday evening panel discussion. Basically the same format except the panel always changes.

I don't yet know what the topics are but I am hoping we get to discuss at least one of the following:

• Mozart or Beethoven, who would've fared better against Watson on Jeopardy?
• When Kapsarov used Nf3 so effectively in the Nimzo against Karpov in '85 (3 wins to 3 ties) was he calling for more openness in Soviet Society (a proto-Glasnost, if you will) or was he just trying to impress the ladies?
• Who better personified the alienation of contemporary masculinity in light of the emerging women's movement in the mid-60s, the first or second Darren on Bewitched?

But with my luck, we'll probably be discussing current events.

Go figure.

Announcement for Friday February 18

I'll be on 4802.

What's 4802, you ask? From the QED website:

Live, local talk is BACK on WQED-TV! Pittsburgh's smartest journalists, columnists, bloggers, analysts and chatters join a different host each Friday night (Michael Bartley, Chris Moore or Tonia Caruso) with a look at news -- newsmakers -- and current events. There's only one place to be on Friday nights at 7:30 for smart talk -- issues -- insight -- and perspective. That place -- is 4802.

It's basically OffQ but with a different host and a different panel each week.

And NO I have no idea what we'll be discussing. News of the week, I guess.
