Not a good day to be Markos Moulitsas. He should be careful who he associates with.

Eerily quiet. Then 8:00 came and BOOM, customers everywhere. I'm glad I snagged an outdoor table. I will muse more on my own blog later, but for now I echo my new friend Vivian's sentiments: it's wonderful to finally meet all these people, and I am looking forward to today's sessions.

Anybody expecting a well-reasoned and interesting discussion about the role of the netroots in politics, though, must have walked away with a smile. Off to Bodo's!

But I close on my Loudoun house in 10 days and need to pack it up. After 20 years there, we have a load of stuff to pack!!! Not only furniture, but all that weird stuff like 2 row boats, BBQ grill, lawn furniture, mower, extension ladder, soccer goal, basketball net, thousands of record albums, the beer can collection, lumber, antique crib, etc., etc. Believe me, I would much much much rather be with ya'll.

It all sounds like it was fun. Unfortunately I have/had to work both days, so I'll have to hope I'm around to attend next year. Really stinks to be a peon. Saw you on NBC 29 this evening Waldo.

I enjoyed the workshop you and Jon gave; I am looking forward to tomorrow's (today's) workshops. I think one thing pleased me more than anything else: Jerome Armstrong, whom I consider a hero in many ways, noticed Michael Snook and I had our copies of <i>"Crashing The Gates"</i> at the table. As he was coming in, he saw me from a distance waving my book around. He stopped immediately when he entered the room and autographed it, commenting on the fact it was one of the pre-sales edition (5,000 + copies sold before it was available). He then autographed Michael's copy. He seems like a genuinely nice person, and I wish he could have stuck around for social hour. The other nice thing; last year I missed the social hour, because I never found the restaurant everyone went to. I had a great time talking with and meeting people all day long. Thanks go to Amber Capron and Sean at the Sorenson Institute for all the work they did setting this up. A class act, absolutely. PS: I forgot the cord to download pictures to my laptop, so those will have to wait until Saturday when we get home. Man, you are quick!!
