Reply #22: It was pretty great ...

though I did get a bit prickly when he was talking about Casey (sorry, I can't help it) ... it all seems so contradictory. The overall vibe was incredibly positive. I love events like that. A veritable "who's who". My only other minor (as in teeny-weeny) peeve is that in 3 of 4 times that I've been in the same room as Dean over the past year - he has told the evangelical school teacher story. It is very inspirational and appropriate, but after travelling across the country all this time ... he has to have another story in that bag. (I can't be sure he didn't tell it the 1st time ... I had a couple of martinis so the details are a little sketchy). I do admire him so regardless. I was near you for a few minutes (admiring Jason) I was dressed in a black sleeveless sweater, long black skirt and curly dark hair. I probably just described half the women there ... but it was worth a shot :shrug:

Did you get one of the League of Pissed Off Voters fliers? I guess they are holding a conference at Pitt August 4-7 ... which, I believe coinsides with the RNC conference. Could be interesting.
