By the way, I'll be reporting from the convention next week

I'll actually be an accredited correspondent for Sirius Satellite Radio's OutQ, gay and lesbian channel. I'll be a roaming radio reporter checking in from all sorts of fun events. Sirius is going to be having a BIG presence with LOTS of coverage. And of course, our coverage will be fun :-)

You'll be able to listen live via the Internet throughout the week on the OutQ home page. I'm told the live coverage will continue each night until midnight.

I'll also be blogging from there as well, though most likely first thing in the morning and late at night, as during the day it's not clear I'll have my computer. But covering the days for me will be Michael in NY, Chris in Paris, and maybe even David in Louisville (formerly David in DC, formerly David in Boston, well, you get the idea - i.e., David's another big time political consultant who's from Boston, he knows his stuff and is a big straight-but-not-narrow Dem).
