We're heading out for YearlyKos tomorrow. Lots of blogging, live and otherwise, will ensue. You can also follow the conference online here via blogs, radio, Internet TV, Twitter, Second Life, the works. It's sure to be one of the most geeked out events ever. Why are we going? I think this opening paragraph from Gina Cooper, the Executive Director of the conference sums it up:
This gathering brings together people from all walks of life who belong to the Netroots, the US-based (but globally focused and inclusive) grassroots community that uses the Internet and blogs as primary tools for expressing viewpoints; building consensus; acting to change the status quo; mobilizing huge numbers of people and informing each other and the world about current events, grassroots actions, networks, meetings, media trends, technological advances, government policy, and culture. Because of your participation, this convention is the most concentrated gathering of high and rising profile progressive bloggers to date.Thanks so much to the generous BfD readers who contributed to help send Bernita to YearlyKos. We didn't quite reach our goal, but came within $300! You made it possible for her to participate in the conference, and we thank you.
Check in on the other members of the YearlyKos "Chicago 17" here.
And I've added the YearlyKos feed to our "Dog Eared Feeds" in the lower right sidebar.
We'll see you online!
