Just confirmed my hotel room for Philadelphia!

Right across from City Hall and a block from some of the "fun" delegations (sadly, my friend in Ohio will be out at the airport). And my close friend from the Illinois Democratic Party has confirmed she'll be attending as well...along with my neighbors who I never knew were involved in politics. Should be fun week!

1. History in the making. It should be an awesome experience. n/t

2. I look forward to regular reports from you.

I'll try to contain my jealousy...

3. Are you a delegate?

If so - cool! We're expecting a blow-by-blow description (except I hope it's not literally blow by blow)

5. I'm a Host Committee supporter...

...will probably work around to a number of delegation meetings where I know people, attend some policy wonk sessions during the day, maybe visit the protest sites if they look entertaining and be in the arena at night.

7. Will require pics and regular updates. Deal?

8. Pics are hard; I don't use a hosting site with a web address...

Will try to cross-post from my Twitter account.

Looking forward to those pictures!

10. Are you a delegate?

I am running to be a Clinton delegate. I was told that the Texas delegation is at the airport hotel and that you need to stay with your delegation that it will be easier to take the bus from the hotel to the convention site.

12. "Right across from City Hall"

There are like 3 Marriotts right there. Pretty close to the Convention Center and you could technically take the subway from there right down to South Philly (end of the line - Pattison station now called AT&T station ) to the Wells Fargo Center where the actual (prime time) convention is taking place.

14. Earlier, I posted tips. Did you check bedbugregistry? Some of the places near City Hall have BBs.

15. I just saw the rates for the hotel for the Texas delgation

They are better than I expected. If I am elected as an delegate, I will still room with another member of the Texas delegation over at the airport hotel
