Denver
A mass exhalation across listservs and social network sites today, as people announce they’re leaving for Denver. For a little while this afternoon I wished I was going too. I’ve never been to a convention and it would be fun to see the spectacle.
Or would it? One of my Facebook contacts wrote that he’s very glad he won’t be anywhere near Denver next week.
Maybe it’s just too exhausting. The Sunlight Foundation is doing a great job with Party Time, keeping track of the more than 400 parties that will be happening at the two conventions. Here’s the Denver list. Thirty-one pages of parties.
Sunlight is determined to show us how lobbyists are managing to pull off these parties despite extensive new ethics requirements, and I’m looking forward to the on-the-ground party blogging.
Go, Sunlight. Have a toothpick-structured sandwich on me.
