Ted Rall
For more than 20 years Ted has been getting attention for some of the most unflinching political cartoons and opinion columns printed in newspapers. He's regularly appeared on NPR, the BBC and Fox News, and on top of that he's traveled extensively through some dangerous and strategically entangled parts of the world and written about it. His latest book is The Book of Obama: How We Got From Hope and Change to the Age of Revolt.
Lizz Winstead
Lizz Winstead has not invented any robots (that we know of), but she has improved your quality of life more than any filthy robot has. In 1996 she co-created The Daily Show. In 2004 she co-founded Air-America and co-hosted Unfiltered, which paired her with Chuck D and Rachel Maddow. Chuck D and Rachel Maddow. Since then, she's written, performed and produced some of the sharpest comedy out there. Her latest creation, Lizz Free or Die is a book of essays with a pretty clever pun for a title.
Daniel H. Wilson
NYT bestselling author (who just happens to have a PhD in robotics) has written no fewer than two books on the subject of robots, 2005's straighforwardly titled How to Survive A Robot Uprising and 2011's well reviewed Robopocalypse. Both books have been optioned as big budget movies (Stephen Speilberg big) so see him now before he decides to retire to the Moon and abandon us to our roboty fate.
Mike Russell
A Portland based wrtier, artist and film critic, his work has appeared in the Oregonian, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times and the Boston Globe. Lately, he's been involved in the Portland Opera's innovative "Comic Night @ The Opera" program which is...well, he'll explain it probably. He's going to give us his take on the state of summer movies.
Kasey Anderson and The Honkies
Ranging from smooth acoustic numbers to their titular honky-tonk, Kasey Anderson and the Honkies are a versatile act. Melody and grunge don't always go together, but it seems like they've got a good handle on it. Reviewers have been drawn to Kasey's raspy lyrics, or in music reviewer talk, "insightful songwriting lifts his characters into the realm of legend" - The Stranger
