My Pet Convention

I'm sorry, but I'm officially bored to death. This convention is BO-RING. I went to the convention floor yesterday and the most exciting thing on it was Anderson Cooper (pics to come :-) Seriously, by late afternoon there was NOT A SOUL in the hallway outside the convention floor. At the Dem convention, those hallways were THE HUB BUB of attention, all the whos-who and whos-that were there, and all of us gawkers, et. al. This convention, NO ONE. I assume they're all at the private little events set up by all the corporate interests. But still, it's just boring. Add to that all the security - if one more security guy comes up to me AFTER I've already made it through all of security and asks me to flip my badge around WHILE I'M TALKING ON THE PHONE, I'm gonna scream. Love security, really do, don't want to die, but this convention is more like living under a Stalinist police state where all the citizens are missing than attending an actual political pow-wow.

Anyway, have spoken to some of the other big bloggers, and they agree. So I'm off to get coffee and lunch and will shortly hit the bloggers alley - the REAL bloggers alley, not the one the Repubs set up for all their loony-toon right-wing bloggers. At least we can all hang out together and share stories about how simply useless this entire event is.
