We re-posted a diary written by Jeffrey Feldman on his experience with the Leadership Forum earlier today. This diary was written by one of the moderators, Joan McCarter (aka mcjoan) at Daily Kos. It includes some of the questions that you didn't hear asked because they were sacrificed to the time clock.
Jeffrey Feldman wrote this diary and posted it on Daily Kos this afternoon. It describes some of his impressions working on the Leadership Forum. You can read it with comments here.
Thanks to PoliticsTV, video of Gina's speech announcing Netroots Nation '08, some of the comedians from Saturday night and highlight reels for each Presidential candidate are now up on YouTube, links below. Enjoy!
Just wanted to put out a quick update on unConventional. We're still trying to get settled after returning from the convention but we hope to start getting copies in the mail to folks that have paid for them this week.
If you had opted to pick yours up at the convention and didn't get around to doing that then no worries, we'll just ship it to you.
We are supposed to have a segment on the Daily Show this evening, so tune in if you can.
Thanks to YearlyKos sponsor Inworld Studios and their Second Life streaming team RagingGurrl and JayAckroyd who captured all the Grand Ballroom events and footage for The Daily Show.
Amidst Lollapalooza and an African American Shriners and Daughters of the Sphinx ball in all their dazzling pageantry (yes, hats too), our YearlyKos Convention held its ground, maybe not with rock stars and Rolls Royced master masons, but with bloggers, big media, progressive organizations, presidential candidates and the full weight of the Netroots Nation.
At YKSL today I made new friends, felt like we created a new crackerjack team for future progressive organizing in this nascent world of online virtual worlds, and, most of all, really felt the sense of camaraderie and passion that I'm certain also pervaded Chicago over the past few days.
The last time I hear the word twitter, I was five watching Bambi.
“Flower: [about two birds fluttering around] Well! What's the matter with them?
Friend Owl: Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated.
Flower, Bambi, Thumper: Twitterpated?
Noooo!!! It's the last day of the Convention! But we're ending on a higher-than-all-heck note with the Presidential Leadership Forum.
Can I get a wooo-hoooo??
Don't forget your lanyards today! That would be very bad. And why not put on little bits of ritz while you're at it? No pressure--just the whole world watching...
Check out some of the personalities at YKC 2007 with this video from PoliticsTV on the first day of the convention. Expect more coverage from PoliticsTV as the week goes on.
