I'm heading out on Thursday for Chicago to try and jumpstart my grassrootin' and was wondering if there's going to be an RK/Va ykos contingent going.

I'm planning on going to the Cubs v. Phillies on Thursday early afternoon at Wrigley and then heading down to catch the opening speaker (Howard Dean). Was also hoping to round up a team for the Pub Quiz on Thursday evening.

Anyway, would be interesting to see who from the site is going, as it would be cool to attach some faces to names and maybe toss some ideas around regarding '07 and '08.

And my old friend, Steve Deak, formerly of Loudoun, now of Atlanta is going, too.  I'm so jealous! I expect full reports.

I managed to get Delaware Dem to run the regional caucus, with me as backup, so I will see Greg there.  I am running two sessions, an educational panel at 1 on Friday and a roundtable on assessment and accountability on Sat at 10:30.  I am one (of about 9( members of a panel on making policy thru the blogs (nyceve on medical, adam siegel on energy, Jerome a Paris also on energy I think, orangeclouds115 on food, and Matt Stoller I presume on net neutrality matters are among the other participants). 

I am probably overbooked, but I shouldn't be too hard to find, even outside of those sessions.  I will be at the netroots candidate event

just a warning - one of the Members of Congress who is supposed to be participating told me that it looks like they might have votes through Friday night, in which case their participation could be limited.  I am presuming that all presidential candidates participating will be there for their session, and I am supposing that the House leadership remembers they also have a commitment for a session.  We'll see how it works out.

Peace.
