I learned midway through Tuesday that KTVA Channel 11 would be interviewing Heather Aronno of SOSAnchorage.net (the factchecker alternative to Prevo's poisonous homophobe site) about the True Diversity Dinner.  (Good job, Heather!) KTVA also interviewed the Anchorage Assembly member from my district who represents me, Elvi Gray-Jackson, as well as the Assembly member from my district who doesn't represent me, Dan Coffey.  And also one of Alaska's top progressive bloggers, Shannyn Moore.  The story on the True Diversity Dinner and the Mayor's Unity Dinner (which used to be a Diversity Dinner until Mayor Sullivan got hold of it) was the first story on Tuesday evening's news broadcast from KTVA.

True Diversity Dinner Announced on KTVA

I forgot the other day to crosspost my announcement of the True Diversity Dinner to be held September 25 at 7:30 PM at the Snow Goose in downtown Anchorage. This is an alternative to the $60/head Borg Unity Dinner that Mayor George Sullivan will be holding at the same time.  Our plates cost $10 -- just enough to cover costs -- and tickets are available at Borders Books and Music (the people doing the footwork here hope to have another ticket location soon).

Anyway, you can read my original post on my website: True Diversity Dinner: September 25, 2009.  Or, visit the True Diversity Dinner blog, where you can also nominate and vote for diversity award recipients in various categories, including the ever popular "Epic Fail" award.

And now here's my current post, which is also about the True Diversity Dinner.  I hope to see you there.
