CDA Convention, Day 2
Whenever I go to these conventions, I always seem to wake up at least 30 minutes before my alarm goes off. I'm in the central time zone and I'm easily waking up at 6-6:30Am (alarm set for 7) when I can barely get myself stirred up by 8am my time. Oh well.
Senator Evan Bayh sponsored a breakfast...when I say "sponsored", I more mean, 'hired a caterer'. Lite stuff, met up with some people I saw get smashed the night before (all in good fun).
Friday was the day of workshops. I attended "The Democratic Message" and "Fundraising" I should have gone to the other two...and maybe I did go to one of them...I just can't remember without looking at an agenda.
I sat in on the Faith and GLBT caucuses (jumping in and out of both rooms...no, I'm not gay x_x) and observed a number of people who just really want to be active. I see so many people who are going to be future advisors/politicians/lawyers, etc and that pumps me up. (As if the Dean Machine didn't do enough of that already)
I attended the Wesley Clark speech and then snuck into the secret meet and greet with him. I had to fight tooth and nail to get to him and have a picture taken (it's up on Gen. Clark's Facebook account...when I get a copy, I'll be posting it here). I'm sure he didn't know think of me when we met up (..."Oh, here's a guy in sunglasses indoors"). It was worth the picture though.
Elections for CDA are on Day 3, which I'll post a little later.
And a thing for all the locals back home...I bring hope. I'm going to help out the local campaigns...Ann Helton will be my first stop.
