Check in if you'll be at the 2016 DNC Convention

Almost here and it should be exciting (although not as comically exciting as the GOP).

I will be a part of my first DNC convention (I was a part of the 2004 RNC protests). However, I probably won't be on the floor but instead around the city helping as a volunteer for the city of Philadelphia.

However, if other DUers are in town please let me know! Whether you are part of the convention or even there to protest, still want to welcome all to Philadelphia.

Can't wait for the big day!

The Texas delegation will be at the Airport Marriott which is not as bad as some delegations.

I have RSVP for a couple of events including the Congressman John Lewis event. March 3 comes out in August and I am wondering there will be advance copies for sale at this event. I have signed copies of March 1 and March 2

The people you've interacted with here. Kind of like a reverse costume party- masks off. And mostly - like 90% - seriously intelligent and lovely people. Guaranteed you will have a good time!
