I am going to arrange press passes to the Republican National Convention in New York this summer for a couple of weblogger-friends who have agreed to cover it for me.
I believe I can arrange such press passes to the Democratic National Convention in Boston, too. Would anyone like to go there to represent Dean's World and write some daily reports on the convention? Shouldn't take a lot, a few short reports a day on what's going on there.
Is anyone interested? Getting there is up to you, but I believe I can arrange the press passes.
Requirement is that you have some moderate writing skills and won't go there to just be an ass, but actually report on what you see and experience. I don't expect "objectivity," and humor's fine, but you're seriously there to tell us what you see, good bad or indifferent.
Anyone interested?
Is this offer open to Canadians? (crossing fingers)
Get me plane tickets up there, and it's a deal! :)
I live an hour north of Boston. . let me check my work schedule and get back to you!
Sure it's open to Canadians. But remember, you have to get yourself there. All I can arrange are passes.
Are you still able to get passes for the RNC? I'm in NY, and I'd love to go.
I have been, in my spotty, sordid past, a reporter and comedy writer among other things. I wasn't always a pastor/theology writer!
I could bring a sidelong, interesting perspective on the proceedings as a pseudo-conservative, as well, and would be facinated at looking into creative ways to bring the feel of the floor to the blogosphere.
I'm also free then, AND I could do live reports with my nifty new laptop computer, still factory fresh! Not to mention that my wife could take the credit cards and show them around the Big Apple.
The only problem MIGHT be that my reporting will be a little gun-shy and defensive if I'm still not recovered from the Death Penalty beat-down your wife is putting on me.
Feel free to email if this interests you at all.
fascinated, that is.. man my spelling is horrid today
If kicking a hippie means "being an ass" I can't go blog the MSG affair on your dime, Dean...
I'll be going on mine, and the hippie's still gonna end up kicked. Screw inside; outside is where the fun'll be.
(thank da Lord for cops and lawyers being members of my tribe!)
Big Dan:
I'm sure glad the Queen of All Evil isn't giving _you_ the Death Penalty. Or me!
Dean, I would definitely do the DNC one for you. I'm hoping to get into the RNC one for myself. Any help you can offer me would be greatly appreciated.
I live in Somerville, and go to school in Cambridge. I have been wondering for some time how I could get myself tickets to get in to the convention and see what all the fuss is about. If I had the tickets, I'd be happy to do the reporting.
Dean, I tried to get passes to the DNC, but I think they are rejecting me based on my site's obvious slant. can you score me a pass?
Besides being a local, I should mention that I just got a digital camera! So does Bill, of course, but...
Dang. Too late. Now I just look like an INDC wannabe.
So have the judges picked the lucky winners yet?
Turns out I can't get the passes to the DNC. Damn it. I was sure I could.
