I got up at 4 AM, got a ticket on my way into DC (the cop overclocked me by a good 5 MPH), and arrived in time to go up to Capitol Hill for a pre-Blog Con[1] meet and greet between bloggers and congressional staffers. I was a bit disappointed in how few staffers showed up, but there were a few key peeps there.
Afterward there was a reception and we all b-bopped out to dinner. I got to spend some time hanging out with Renee Ellmers[2], who’s running against Bob “Who are you” Etheridge. I offered to buy her dinner for her if she’d earmark me a swimming pool once she got into Congress. She declined, thus proving that she’s a fiscal conservative or that sort of thing wasn’t going to fly in a Mexican restaurant where the food was relatively cheap 😉
This morning, I got up and belted out a pretty subpar (for me at least) speech. Also speaking, among others, were Jim Hoft from Gateway Pundit[3], Stephen Kruiser[4], and Melissa Clouthier from Liberty Pundit[5].
Now we’re on to the panels featuring Melissa Clouthier from Liberty Pundit[5], Matt Lewis[6] and others.
PS: Here are some early pics from Stacy McCain[7].
