Hai! It's been a long time since I've done a live-blog from -Netroots Nation- a political convention. As a Charlotte resident and longtime DKOS denizen I figure it is my duty to bring some local and onsite color to the occasion.
To tee up the conversation... ThePPL is "designed for bloggers and online media for the #DNC2012". At the moment I am parked near the front end of the news room on the 4th Floor of Packard Place which is in earshot of the Bank of America Stadium where, come Thursday night, a skinny kid from Hawaii with a mean jump shot (AND a valid long form birth certificate, thank you very much, AND released tax returns) will be giving a short speech to a modest gathering of several tens of thousands of people.
In between this moment and that moment will be oodles of delegation breakfasts. @DanteAtkins and @DavidAtkins are tweeting the hell out of the California one, lots of awesome speakers including one Nancy Pelosi (you might of heard of her) are in attendance. I hear they are bringing me some excellent swag. (Yay, chachskis for the win!)
Also sighted: the core cadre of Netroots Nation (Raven B is half hidden from my point of view by a column.... and he is now taking a picture of the Bright Box phone recharger...
Nolan Tand Mary R are about. I saw walkie-talkies so I know it's really them and not imposters. :)
Alright, that's enough to get the ball started. Send me questions, requests, I will do what I can from here. :)
