    Thursday, July 31
    Doors 6:00 | Program 6:30 - 7:30
    The UBS Forum at Minnesota Public Radio, St. Paul

    Appetizers included

    Join author Bill Bishop and moderator Steve Seel to talk about Bishop's book, The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart. Called "essential reading for activists, poli-sci types, journalists and trend-watchers" by Kirkus Reviews, the book examines how and why Americans are sorting themselves into neighborhoods filled with people just like them -- and what it means for politics in this contentious election season.

    And, after the main event,
    come on over to Fuji-Ya (just down the block) for another Policy and a Pint after party.

    Policy and a Pint®: The Big Sort is presented by 89.3 The Current and the Citizens League and sponsored by Best Buy.
