Thanks for clicking on the latest NFTT installment, a dual-purpose diary!
What a great honor for me, to get a chance to do this. I want to thank all of you who've made NFTT into the positive force that it is. I had to miss last year's Netroots Nation, but will be there this year (look for me on the Organizing as a Healing Process: A Fresh Perspective on PTSD panel).
I'm looking forward to participating in NFTT physically this time.
But, since I couldn't be there in '08, it felt good to toss a few coins into the bucket.
Sure, it wasn't the same as having the chance to roll up my sleeves and get to work with everyone (I heard it was one of the more memorable goings-on at NN08, and I don't doubt it; kudos to everyone involved in fueling and propelling NFTT forward). Not everyone can make it in person.
But, being there in spirit and/or contribution is a nourishment for the soul -- and the goal, too.
So, please join in, in whatever way you can. Every little bit helps.
Now, follow me below the fold, for information on this year's NFTT efforts as well as a call to help make Stephen Colbert an honorary member of IAVA...if you dare! [wink]
