by: spontoni

Sun Mar 15, 2009 at 14:04:19 PM EDT


I was sent this email today, we should help support the College Democrats with their efforts.  More information under the fold...

spontoni :: UM College Democrats to Host Blogging Forum
The press and new media committee of the University of Michigan College Dems will be holding a statewide Blogging Convention to address the current state of politics and blogging—and the dynamic relationship between the two.

Giving the keynote speech will be prominent blogger and author Marcy Wheeler, who writes for Daily Kos, The Huffington Post, and Michigan Liberal, among others. The convention will also feature a panel of bloggers and politicians including Michigan Democrat [sic] Party Chair Mark Brewer, and writers from blogs like Blogging for Michigan and Rainbow Mitten, who will take questions from the audience and provide their own unique perspectives.

The convention will take place the Thursday, March 19 in the Vandenburg Room in the League at 8pm.

If you're interested in attending please RSVP on Facebook.

Yay! (4.00 / 2)
I'll be there. How about the rest of you?

Heh (0.00 / 0)
They probably assumed you would not be interested in driving all the way in from the West Side. On RM no one knows I am a West Sider. :)

oh no! (4.00 / 1)
WMR- We emailed you twice and even put Brendan Campbell on the case (apparently he has coached your daughter in swimming).

There's still room on the panel if you'd be able to make the drive. As a fellow West-sider (Kalamazoo!) I'd be more than thrilled if we could represent.

We've been trying! (4.00 / 2)
Phil and all at WMR,

We sent an email (from Tom Duvall, I believe) to your WMR email address to no response, so I've been trying to search for a personal email address that you might check more frequently. I found two, and I sent an email to both of them today.

Sorry for the confusion. We were just discussing this today, and we would really love for some West Siders to come the convention!

I'll be there (4.00 / 2)
in my capacity with A Whole Lot of People Supporting John Cherry, not the Granholm Leadership Fund. Also, one of the flyers on the Facebook event said I was the Governor's Communications Director - that's Liz Boyd, not lowly me.

Just want to make sure no one thinks I'm misrepresenting myself! Look forward to it Thursday!

We already think (4.00 / 1)
you change water into wine and rule the Empire of Michigania with an iron fist. Not sure how you could oversell that. :-)

Wish I could join (4.00 / 2)
but work whisks me away.

Have fun without me!!
