Random thoughts on Netroots Nation.

I can't thank DFA enough for giving me a scholarship to attend. What a terrific organization (go Howard Dean!) Please support DFA and join your local chapter. It is one of the best progressive political organizations we have in the USA today.

The highlight had to be Bill Clinton and then Howard Dean 12 hours later. It still seems surreal. And I had a great up front seat for both.

Another high point was meeting Don Siegelman. Please visit his new website and sign his petition. This is a horrific American tragedy.

iPhones were everywhere! I saw no Blackberrys. There were so many times when hissyspit, sharonrb and I sat and talked while we read threads on DU on our iPhones. And exchanged apps. (Thank you hissy for the awesome camera zoom - well worth the 99 cent price!)


Pittsburgh has a happening downtown area and their green convention center was awesome.




Airports suck. The security is demeaning. And will someone please tell me why a kid who wants to play video games should be able to use the only electrical outlet in the gate area when my phone needed charging. :mad:


DU needs to have a gathering like Netroots. It was neat to watch the dkos folks connect and meet in person. I have met a lot of DUers at various events but would love to see a gathering just for us to celebrate our online community. Not sure what it would take to pull it off but I would gladly help organize. And I know a lot of DUers who have the skills to help put this together. Anyone else interested?


Finally, thanks to Skinner, Elad and EarlG for their help and support in allowing us to blog from Netroots. It was great fun! :yourock:

good times

He spoke for about an hour. No notes. No teleprompter. And he makes you feel like he is talking to you and no one else is in the room.

hissyspit and sharonrb are both a hoot.

Hissy was texting me today which was great since I was back at work and he was still on his vacation. :(

I am really exhausted. My plane got in after 10 and I had to get up very early today. But I loved telling all my co-workers that my summer vacation included Bill Clinton and Howard Dean.

:woohoo:
