LOVE this idea.  If the panel event is shaping up really nicely by late November, we could invite local media (The Ann Arbor Observer, the Michigan Daily, MLive, etc) to it, and then shamelessly Schmooze 'Em after their articles on the event come out.  This could help us get more positive press during the February event and throughout the campaign!

Love this idea to.  We could reach out to the police dept and Families Against Narcotics, a recovery support organization that is lowkey prohibitionist

We'll want to make RSVPs for both events

Hadn't thought of this before!  Normally I tell people events I'm organizing are gonna be boring, difficult, and worthless;

Hell yeah
