so what’s the convention like?

Obviously, I can’t speak for the delegates, protestors, service providers, real journalists or even for other bloggers, but for me it’s a lot like going to a sports arena and watching a sport that consists of talking loud. — David Weinberger

ROFL. I love David.

“Rough wind, that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all the night long;
Sad storm,whose tears are vain,
Bore woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main-
Wail, for the world’s wrong!”

The convention hasn’t been as boring as everyone says it is.
Seeing uncoordinated people rocking out to “Living in America” is quite joyously entertaining.
