A Ph.D student in informatics at Indiana University, Kevin is rich in spirit. He wrestles and reads with his kids, does a hilarious Christian Slater imitation and lights up his wife's days.

We are official.
I heard back from Ivy Tech this afternoon, and they agreed to host sessions #4 and #5 of a local RootsCamp. The idea for a political unconference is strictly a Progressive affair at the national level, but I have appropriated it for my own interests while still keeping in line with what I think good progressive politics should be. This local event in Bloomington is going to be open to any ideology and socioeconomic group. I’m excited to move into the promotion phase, which starts tonight with a meeting a local community neighborhood association.
The event is November 17 & 18, exactly one month for today.
