Closing keynote at Netroots Nation, and some of the over 2,500 progressives who attended it.
by Mel Green
Our fatigued reporter’s last report from Minneapolis, because by the time you read this, she’ll be on a plane on the way back to Anchorage. But she’ll have more to say about Netroots Nation and LGBT Netroots Connect and some of the stuff she learned there to benefit — at least so we hope — the LGBT community(s) of Alaska — once she’s able to decompress & unpack it.
With this post I will attempt the Guiness Book of World Records for shortest-ever post written by me. It’s got to be short, because it’s past midnight Minneapolis time, & I still haven’t been to bed. I have, however, packed. Sleep will take place in the Hilton tonight & my Minneapolis to Seattle flight tomorrow, divided by checkout, breakfast with a local friend, and the shuttle trip to the airport.
My Daily Tweets post for today in particular will be much more informative than this post.
I will say this about the third and last day of Netroots Nation 11: (1) I was too tired to function well at the afternoon sessions, but I still made some great contacts that I think will serve us back in Alaska. (2) the Right Online conference (RO11) — a sort of Netroots Nation imitation that the rightists have been holding here at the Hilton Minneapolis — made some noise during the day, but by the time I got back to the hotel after NN11 ended, scarcely a green lanyard was to be found: just orange lanyards — Netroots’ color — all over the place. Good. (3) I’m really glad to be going home.
And that’s enough. More info, photos, etc. when I’m back home.
See you on the other side, & see you at Pride.
