Twas the night of the auction and all through the tubes
All the creatures were bidding on Ruby’s BBQ.

The customized wool stockings were hung up with care
With hopes these cool earrings would show up in there.

Our heads on soft pillows all snug in our beds
While dreams of Bill’s fun packs danced in our heads.

We were suddenly awakened by a sound of such glee
“The afghan was ours, we’d outbid No One Owns Me.”

Then the bidding got fierce as the clock ticked away
“That puppy breath is mine” I heard my mom say.

Then we heard such a clatter and ran down the hall
I guess Dad was enjoying another bourbon ball.

“Off to bed” said Dad with more than a nudge.
“I must focus to win that great chocolate fudge”.

Off to bed I then went, fast like a rocket.
Our lucky elephant was safe inside my pocket.

The auction is closing and what do you know?
I’m in the running for the Matt Filipowicz Show!

So hurry and bid on that great Warren poster
Or the one of a kind set of the YearlyKoster.

But do it quick before we adjourn
You have until 10pm eastern.

An Auction a Day

Do you ever feel like the odd man out? You know, like a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Maybe you need a getaway to boost your spirits. Of course 2 tickets to God would shed a whole new light on things. Before you lose some true blood you should check out the new auction items at the Netroots Nation auction page..

Read any good books lately? Well, it just so happens that the Netroots Nation Auction has a plethora of progressive reading choices. As a former member of Idiot America, (or NMBLA), you must exercise the Conscience of a Liberal even if that means Taking the Hill Personally. So while King Bidgood's in the Bathtub you can take advantage of his absence and swoop upon some of these bargains.

Before I begin with my plea for assistance, I want to send a HUGE Thank You to the organizers of Netroots Nation as well as DFA for making the dream of Netroots Nation scholarships a reality. If we are going to remain a grassroots, people powered movement, we can't continue the Republican tradition of catering to the rich. We must make our conventions and political gatherings open to everyone regardless of income or ability to pay. This has been the philosophy of the NN organizers since day one and I am extremely happy to see that the spirit of collaboration has made it happen. It is with this in mind that I'm writing this diary. There is an applicant for one of these scholarships that I feel is truly deserving of the scholarship and she needs our help.

There are essentially 2 faces to the Yearlykos Convention. The first face is very visible and it speaks to the offline community that includes the media, the political leaders and other like-minded organizations. This is the face that is guided so skillfully by Gina Cooper. There is no better voice for the netroots or symbol of the people power movement than her. She is the reason the heavy hitters even know our name and there is no better person to carry our banner than Gina.

There is another face of YK. The detail, get the work done, behind the scenes face of YearlyKos. This face is made up of several people who don't get paid, don’t get the spotlight; most people don’t even know they are involved. In my day job I am an assistant to the partner of a CPA firm where I file tax returns, distribute financial statements, etc. and in my free time I coordinate all the volunteers for the convention and this year I also organized the Screening Series. All as a volunteer. So I would like to give y’all a taste of what it takes to put on this convention. I apologize for the length of this diary but as it is, I’m still leaving too many people out. But now, I’m going to start with the money.

Okay, it's a great book with tremendous photos and great essays. Yada. yada. yada. Why should I by an ebook about a convention that happened almost a year ago? I've heard it all. It was a watershed event...this generations Woodstock...changing the face of progressive politics. Okay, I get it. Now answer my question. Why should I buy this book? Follow me below and I'll tell you.

I believe the quote was "YearlyKos 2007 will make last year’s convention look like a bake sale". Truer words have never been spoken. Now, we’d like to introduce the newest addition to the festivities. Can you guess what it is? Go ahead and try. Take a stab at it. I’ll wait....

So I took the plunge and agreed to be an Inspector at a local polling place. So I picked up my supplies, went through the training, charged up my cell phone and I'm ready to go right? Well, maybe not. How am I going to go an entire day, a very important day, without any news about the elections going on in other parts of the country? Then I saw this diary http://www.dailykos.com/... posted on Friday and my heart skipped a beat. Read More

Okay, I read Pontificator's diary this morning, http://www.dailykos.com/... and I started to respond to a comment I read by St Louis Woman that got me thinking about the "don't get too excited" contingent. While typing my reply, I realized I had much too big a rant in me to relegate it to just a comment reply. So, hence, this diary.

Yes, it was another right wing conspiracy to prevent the netroots from honoring and recognizing their own. Recently the YearlyKos staff sent an electronic newsletter asking all those who volunteered at the convention and did not receive a Koster as their recognition gift to email me at volunteers.YK@gmail.com. However, when the newsletter went out and people tried to click on that link, they got a blank page. What's up with that? Read More

Okay, we've all established that YK was a great, motivational, overwhelmingly positive experience, but how do we translate that feeling back into the real world? Hmmmm? If only there was a diary about what to do next? (insert entering dreamlike state special effect sound of your choice here) Read More

Okay, I've unpacked, slept, ate, cleared off the massive amounts of work from my desk at my real job, and am now ready to gather my thoughts on YearlyKos. I'm also ready to post my first diary on Daily Kos, and this is it so please be kind at the lack of links or other techniques that require a level of technical knowledge that I sorely lack. I will do my best. (The power of Momster is with me!) Read More
