Barack Obama and Joe Biden Event

Look for a more thorough post later when I've collected some more bodily fluids and energy. We recorded roughly one hour worth of video, including our brief introduction and a few closing remarks from Micah and Aubrey managed to shoot almost 600 photographs. Look for the photographs to become available sometime either tonight or tomorrow. I'm going to get the footage to Access-4 and see if they will run it sometime this week.

As for our experience at the event, right now my thoughts are, "Wow, I can't believe we were able to get media credentials." We had a spot along one of the barricades, right next to Channel 20, which gave us an amazing view of the stage. It was not only a great vantage point from which to record the event, but also to personally stand close to history in the making.

The event was huge, hot, and interesting. More details to follow.

I haven't been back here for awhile, but I remember, during Election 2006, I saw one mention of elections at this site... I don't know if you've covered current politics more, since then (and I notice a new template as well). Congratulations on keeping your weblog - and your show! - up-to-date, during this time. Do you ever do political or current-affairs commentary on your program? (Considering what type of city this is, it would not be surprising if that type of thing creeps into your programming... ;-).

I went over the media tent, after being at the Adiamo, and it seemed that most of the people were still there, behind their laptops. I don't know how many bloggers were given media credentialing, but considering that you also have a television show (and one that has now been around for a significant period of time), you deserved it.

I hope that your old blog entries - and all comment posts - have not been affected, by the template change. Please keep up the good work, with all that you are doing.
