This is the final day of CPAC. I’ve had a wonderful time here, and meeting the bloggers is the main reason I wanted to come. I’ve never been interested in attending before, mainly because I’m somewhat of a homebody and don’t like going to conferences that last several days. But meeting bloggers and networking with media types was enough to get me out of the house.
Zell Miller, John O’Neill and two other Swift Boat veterans spoke at last night’s banquet. Matt has the audio. Robin Burk took notes during the speeches. Read her post.
I forgot to mention the other bloggers here. It was truly a pleasure meeting “Athena” of Terrorism Unveiled. She has a real name but prefers to remain anonymous. Jim Gerghaty at Kerry Spot introduced himself yesterday. Mike Marshall of Pajamin Hadin is here, too.
Must-see item: Al Franken explodes!
I also met Ray Patnaude, an editor at Tech Central Station and Jonathan Garthwaite, editor of Townhall.com. Every writer should try to meet editors of publications they want to write for. You get to talk about article ideas, what the publication is looking for, what they have too much of, etc. Very valuable information.
Hugh Hewitt was supposed to be here, but I heard his doctor wouldn’t let him fly. We were all disappointed. I think most of us brought copies of BLOG for Hugh to sign, and there was a collective sigh when we heard the news.
I’ll update this post later. Thanks for reading and commenting on the CPAC posts.
