11 a.m. Saturday at the Riverview Cafe in Minneapolis. One thing to put the thinking cap on for: The executive committee has an idea for a keynote speaker, but wanted to hear some Twin Cities alternatives. The idea would be for someone who has experience/interactions with copy editors. Keillor was mentioned back in April in Denver, but who knows how possible that would be.
Others in my mind, with no regard to the possibility: John Sanford, James Lileks, Al Franken (would the election be over by then?), Vince Flynn?
Bring ideas to the meeting or add them in the comments here. Hope to see any and all on Saturday.

A note from Trisha on potential keynoters:
Since we're opening the doors to copyeditors outside journalism, I have a couple of ideas for a keynote speaker who might straddle some copy editing worlds:
Emily Buchwald, founder of Milkweed Editions and author
Eric Utne, founder of the Utne Reader (I think he's left the reader, and is now doing community building work).
Joel Kramer, founder of Minnpost, or someone else who can speak to Web journalism and how it's changing our jobs.
Ken Doctor, former PiPress publisher and now industry consultant
An editor from Politico, since they have a pseudo relationship with the PiPress and can talk about Web journalism.
And, in a dream world: Ariana Huffington.
I think the kind of speaker I'd like to hear most from is someone who can look forward to how our jobs are changing. Someone who has a vision for journalism beyond steady erosion of print and broadcast media. Someone who can give us hope for the future.
Trisha
