1. out of town, unfortunately

Heck, I freaking *work* at UMass, but I won't be around. I have to go to Ohio this weekend. :mad:

Say hi to the folks from the Graduate Employee Organization (UAW Local 2322) if you see them! They're going to be flyering outside.

4. whaddya think?

I thought the pledge of allegiance with folks that are new Americans was really cool. Made me think of America as a beacon of hope in a time when things seem really screwed up.

Energized me a little bit about my city committee getting organized and stuff.

The sessions themselves could have been a little better organized and allowed a little more interaction.

Nice to see so many dems on such a beautiful day!!!!!

5. I had a good time!

It was my first one, I enjoyed it.

I thought the pledge with the new citizens was great, too. :)

I thought Cam Kerry did a good job. Were you at the session where Ed Markey spoke? He was FANTASTIC! I went to that session, the media session, and the GOTV session. I enjoyed the media session. GOTV kind of bored me, I think I was ready to go home by then.

6. my first too

My wife and I both went as delegates, she went to the young person's, and I (older) went to the grassroots sessions.

Ed Markey is my rep, good guy, hope he runs for Sen. Kerry's seat when he's no longer senator, he's a good sox fan tambien. It may shake up Mass. politics a little when Kerry is elected, everyone moves up.

I run a little bit towards the DLC side of things but we are all members of one big Dem family trying to get our folks elected. I was there more to see the boring methodological part of politics, I got some good ideas for our city website and some local operations.
