Noon Notes - Denver08

by: rich

Mon Aug 25, 2008 at 14:14:31 PM EDT


On the leg from Milwaukee to Denver I met Christian Avard from Green Mountain Daily. He’s a cool guy who’s also going to be blogging for the Huffington Post.

On the SkyRide shuttle bus I ran into the incomparable Miss Laura from Daily Kos and we talked about the Congressional races in Michigan (specifically the chances for Peters to knock off Knollenberg, and Schauer to knock off Walberg) and her new job in DC.

Good news: I’ve been invited to attend the morning Michigan delegate breakfasts and press briefings. They take place every morning this week at the hotel where the Michigan delegation is staying.

Bad News: The hotel where the Michigan Delegation is staying is in Broomfield, CO, about 18 and a half miles from the Pepsi Center. As I’m staying two and a half miles in the opposite direction, and have no means of getting around other than taxi and public transit, I won’t be attending the breakfasts and briefings.

Lunch is Burritos from Chipotle. Yum!

I still have to trudge to the other side of town to pick up my DNCC Blogger Credential for today.

P.S. No, I did not make it to this morning’s 7am Yoga session at the Big Tent.

Out of curiosity (4.00 / 1)
Do the "state level" credentialed bloggers get to stay with their state delegation?

Keep updating! You're a welcome distraction from the humdrum of daily life.


Attending a MI delegation breakfast (4.00 / 3)
Wouldn't it be worth it to at least attend one breakfast? Isn't there someone on your side of town you could hitch a ride with? Or just spring for a damn taxi. The kids and I will forage in the woods for nuts and berries ;)

No breakfast. (4.00 / 3)
He's too busy doing yoga.

Downward Dog.  He learned it from one of the junior monkeys.

Do stupid people know they are stupid?

I forgot to tell you.  I got a call from someone last week, and there are credentials for something Thursday available to you.  There were apparently extra, and they were awarded to us.

I have no idea what they're for, or where you get them, but they are available.

Hey Rich, (4.00 / 2)
You just got a shout out from ctrenta at Docudharma, who sat behind you on the plane.  And I quote:

The cool thing about the flight was sitting behind Rich, editor of Michigan Liberal. Great guy.


Thanks (4.00 / 3)
I just went over to Docudharma to thank ctrenta for the shout-out.
