Some loose ends here. I’m not selling ads this week so I’d like to gently nudge people to the Booman Tribune store where you can buy cool shirts and coffee mugs or Bootrib member books. We also have the bumper stickers. If you’d like to make a sizeable contribution, get a few color ones. Don’t worry about the weight display, it’s a glitch in the software and the bumper stickers don’t weigh 400 lbs.
Other tidbits: I’ll be in Las Vegas for Yearly Kos from Thursday June 8th to Sunday June 11th. I hope to see as many of you there as can make it. It really is going to be much more than a Kos event. MyDD and FireDogLake will have caucuses on Thursday (before my flight arrives) and Booman Tribune and My Left Wing will be throwing a small party on Friday Night at the Circus Circus, across the street from the Riviera where the Kos event is being held. Maryscott is reported to have a camera crew in tow, so you might make it into a documentary if you make it to the party.
There will also be big parties thrown by General Wesley Clark and former Governer Mark Warner (who is a very nice and funny guy). I’m guessing these will be Saturday night, but I’m not sure. Jerome a Paris is coming, and he will be giving a presentation (A Sustainable Energy-Energize America – Jérôme Guillet, Mark Sumner, Adam Siegel, George Karayannis) at 1:30pm on Friday. Larry Johnson will hopefully be back from Iraq and will be part of a panel on Plamegate with Ambassador Joseph Wilson, Dan Froomkin, Jane Hamsher, Christy Hardin Smith, Marcy Wheeler, Murray Waas, at 9:30am on Friday.
After all that fun, I’ll fly back into Philly on Sunday night only to turn around and take a train down to DC for a three-day conference thrown by Take Back America 2006. You can register for that conference here. There will be even more luminaries at the DC event, including Hillary, Kerry, Feingold, and Obama. I’ll be set up in a Bloggers Blvd. and have access to all the interviews, etc. There has been some talk of a meet-up for DC area tribbers on the 13th, but I now realize there is some big blowout (free) dinner that night. So, maybe the 14th would be better. In any case, nothing has been organized yet.
Just writing about all this activity has made me tired. When I get back, I may have to consult Family Man and get back to more conventional slacktivism.
