BTW, my second report, which gives some time to the other side's alternative to Netroots Nation is posted now. Look for A Tale of Two Netroots. More later today. Dave

Hi, Can anyone confirm that postcards for my anti-war satire "Military Intelligence and You" were included in the registration bags? Thanks.

My wifi reaches all the way to the pool, where I sometimes do my writing. Plus I've been known to frequent sidewalk cafes which have wifi when I get stuck in downtown Austin. I also type with amazing speed, leaving me time for some outdoor activities. So, with my natural tanning ability, I'm remarkably dark. Dave

Someone's wi-fi router doesn't reach their back patio.

I didn't think a guy hunched over his computer 12 hours a day pounding out fonts and columns could get enough of the blue rays of his CRTs onto his legs to give them any color. And I can't imagine sun exposure.

Got your BC-issued cyanide pill, Dave? Dang, Matt. Mine is past the expiration date. I hope I'm not in trouble. maybe you need to commute between these events in something really green. You can borrow my e-bike, that might make them happy! Sadly, my BigAss Ecotruck is in the shop. The comment on my first report over at DailyKos would be a lot more useful if it actually explained HOW I had failed to understand the left bloggers. I suspect that my failure is that I haven't bought into the concept that they speak with the voice of god. Dave

"those boys and girls over at the Kos take themselves awful serious-like don'cha know" And for no discernible reason...

Troll, Cowboy chaps and shorts, while useful, do not protect the part of the anatomy which The Reverend Mr. Jackson graciously offered to remove from ~~The Reverend Mr.~~ Senator Obama. Dan

Bliff, I'm from Texas. I wear shorts 300 days a year, so my legs are nice and tanned. No need to fear. Dave

The Wobblies? The IWW? Didn't they officialy go extinct when U. Utah Phillips died a couple weeks ago? Oh well, no more of those great concerts. And exotic foods celebrated in song like "Moose Turd Pie". He was good, though. I'm only surprised that you went to the convention dressed in shorts, thus risking derision for exposing your varicose veined lily-white gams to public view. Why, after witnessing that display some louts might conclude that your writing is equally shameless.

"Blogcritic's Dave Nalle files his first spy report. As he acknowledges right off the bat, he is there undercover to see what the other side is doing. He demonstrates his complete ignorance of the left blogosphere in his description of the attendees and the dkos blogging community. Beware who you're talking to at the conference." Kos Got your BC-issued cyanide pill, Dave?

I heard that they were issuing two different media badges at Netroots Nation, one for those who agreed with the organizers politically and a special one labelled "Opinion Media" for people who weren't left enough for them. Which one did you get?
