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. Even from 10,000 miles away I perceived and enjoyed the amazing event, community, and cultural milestone that was YKSL.
To get a sense of what transpired in YKSL today, check out the chat transcript below of the dialogue among avatars in Second Life watching today's Presidential Forum at the Yearly Kos Convention in Chicago...
