Beantown Heads Up

Bostonians and Reason readers alike are hereby alerted that Matt Welch and Tim Blair are in da haus. Blair and Welch will be covering the Democratic National Convention all week at the Reason Conventions blog. They will be both reporting on the Democratic follies and canvassing Boston in an attempt to verify the long-standing rumor that beans are good for your heart. Stay tuned. Convention coverage will be accessible from this page and Reason's main page, and is eminently bookmarkable at www.reason.com/conventions.
