The friends and family part of NN11
That picture above was from the BEST Pub Quiz ever. We were rowdy, loud, chanting & protesting just about every question and answer. The guys behind me? The Wisconsin Union crew – some of whom really DID protest in Madison this year. At one point they broke out into a chant of “Show me what [...]
Yes, a blogger conference w/o reliable internet!
Thanks to the Rio hotel having absolutely horrible internet access issues (and wanting to charge $14 a day for said crappy connection in your room), I quickly had to bail on the idea of posting updates this past weekend. And I would normally catch up during the week, but, this is Glamnation tour week – [...]
Reminder for Vegas
Watch for posts on Pragmatic Progressive. Over there on the right you’ll see the links pop up. A weekend of dirty f*#*ing hippies
NN09 – Last one, I promise – plus football injury :-(
I shall wrap up by saying – thanks for the great party Markos! The Dkos group hosted a fabulous party in a freakin’ church! Seriously, a church was converted to a bar and it was pretty awesome. A live band, some damn funny entertainment and FREE DRINKS for 2 whole hours! Suh weet! I danced [...]
NN09 Day 3, Sat Aug 15, Part 1
First thing in the morning as always – shake off that veil of weary, find food and settle in for a morning conversation between Baratunde Thurston and President Obama’s Senior Adviser – Valerie Jarret: Just as with Howard Dean the morning before, they took questions via Twitter and also via the audience’s written questions on [...]
NN09 Day Two (Part 2)
This is going to be picture heavy. All I need to tell you is that the NN09 attendees had a wonderful opportunity to take over the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. They set us up to take swings in the batting cage and shag fly balls in the outfield and they fed [...]
NN09 Day 2, Friday Aug 14 (Part 1)
I realized after going through all my pictures that I was going to have to break this day up into two parts! I’ll push the total file up into Flickr, but even picking and choosing what to show in here was hard! Day 2 started off with my only panel of the day – a [...]
NN09 Day 1, Thursday Aug 13
Day 1 was a day of amazing panels. And also a sign that two things would hold true this year. 1) I would have even less sleep than in prior years (well, maybe not compared to Chicago, but..that was for different reasons!). and 2) that I would be a supreme fan girl and not be [...]
Final pics from Austin
From the last night on the town. Bill with a carriage pulling horse. He was so funny all weekend getting completely distracted by any and all furry objects!! It was really quite sweet. Then Bill with Kid Oakland. We met KO at a party being hosted by Jim Hightower who was very sweet and friendly [...]
Even more pictures – Al Gore in the house!
Apologies for being so picture heavy, but that is all I have the energy for at the moment. I suffered from some tummy upset last night (turns our rum is not my friend) so I am really wiped out at the moment. Thankfully the rumor went around that Nancy Pelosi was bringing a special guest..and [...]
