New Orleans is such a fun town. You can just be sitting at dinner and a band suddenly closes down the street beside you.

It’s not a holiday. It’s a Tuesday.

Also, my bathroom tub has… a bottle opener? If I need… a shower beer?

1/6 Next week @ire.org will host its 578 speakers in 244 sessions for #IRE25.

Are you, like me, excited but also torn on which sessions to choose? Here's a quick look at the numbers if you are curious.

I'm psyched for the broadcast, public records, & tech tools panels!
Graphic showing the sessions in each track. Note: each session can have more than one track.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Shawn McIntosh, retired from the @ajc.com and an @ire.org legend.

She helped start NICAR!

And once programmed a machine-learning algorithm to identify probable abuse cases among thousands of possible leads so that she could investigate them. #IRE25

Please join me in congratulating my boss Kevin Keeshan, who will be inducted into the @ire.org Ring of Honor on Saturday.

At the end of June, Keeshan will retire after 47 years as a journalist!

He has been an incredible mentor for me and so many other people. #IRE25
