This is cool.
Are you going to the MDP convention in Detroit this weekend? It's free and open to all. Here's one more reason to go - you're invited to the first ever MI blogger's caucus! Meet fellow bloggers face-to-face, and discuss blogging, the 2006 elections, and how we can work together to grow the Michigan blogosphere.
Our caucus will take place on Saturday from 10am to noon, in room D01-A. It all came together too late for the printed agenda, but there will hopefully be signs at the convention.
Thanks to Matt, Jon Koller and LiberalLucy from Michlib, emptywheel from The Next Hurrah, Rayne from many blogs, and Clint from the Granholm campaign for helping to make this happen.
How you can help, is first to spread the word - email anybody you can think of who should know about it. Second, if you want to help with the planning please comment here or drop one of us an email. And third, be there on Saturday.
Also - there will be a "bloggers row" on the convention floor, so don't forget to bring your laptop for live-blogging at Cobo.
Wish I could be there- but to take pictures, not blog. Kind of tells you where my heart really is. Sitting here wondering about the lighting at Cobo, not the wireless connection... besides, I don't have a laptop anyway. And I can't get to Detroit.
Rumor has it that some candidates might stop by this little shindig- that would be a very good idea on their part. This is small media, but it is media. Nothing like a little free publicity from schmoozing with the bloggers.
And Laura- if you're reading this- you totally rock. The Democratic Party is blessed to have you.
