Fashion Fridays 2010 debut
From the organizers:

Fashion Fridays makes its 2010 debut in style on April 9. Partnerships with the Wi Film Festival and Madison Area Music Awards helps to forge a fierce trifecta of creative talent among the film, music and fashion industries in Wisconsin.

Local designer collections reign the runway this time. Local tastemakers and influencers will not want to miss the prime penthouse venue in Arbor Gate as well as the myriad of goodies in store from MyMenu, which is also the event’s first time ever retail ticket partner!

Making its first appearance during Wisconsin Fashion Week in April 2008, the event originally served as an after-party with a focus on fashion industry networking but soon became a mainstay on the style scene. Each season, Fashion Fridays offers an opportunity to learn Madison’s fashion faces alongside a runway show highlighting the latest trends hitting the streets. The events attract a younger audience and are often held in clubs or non-traditional spaces.

Third party candidates: conducive, or nuisance?
Panelists speak out against California’s “Top Two” initiative for the damage they say it will do to third parties and nonmainstream candidates. Theresa Amato, founder of the Citizen Advocacy Center, tells of when she asked Howard Dean if he thinks third parties should ever run. She says the American media is also a major problem, as they hold massive power to direct Americans’ attention. Other panels included Cindy Sheehan, mother of a deceased Iraqi war veteran, Angela Keaton of antiwar.com and Sean Scallon, a supervisor for Pepin County in Wisconsin.
