Lakoff discussion at QRB

At Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh:

SUNDAY, JULY 16, 3:00 p.m. George Lakoff's book, DON'T THINK OF AN ELEPHANT! KNOW YOUR VALUES AND FRAME THE DEBATE: THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR PROGRESSIVES, has been a bestseller nationally and here at QRB. Local political activist Diana Koenning will lead a discussion of the book which is about the art of framing current hot-topic issues in a way that leads to meaningful conversation. There will also be a practice session to build skills in creating dialogue across the political spectrum.

Does anyone know who Diana Koenning is? Do you think I should go?

Sounds intriguing. Facilitated dialogue can work really well. I've had some enjoyable and productive conversations that way.
