Do you notice I’m in the back of the NEA RA convention hall too?
2009 July 3
Not only am I in the last seat in the Illinois caucus room at the lovely time-warped Town and Country Hotel and Spa located in hotel circle, a $20 cab ride from the San Diego convention center. I’m also sitting on the risers in the back of the RA convention hall. I watch everything on the jumbo screen with closed captions for the hearing impaired. Which I am more and more.
Back of the room at both places. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Oh yeah, I see–that’s you in the blue shirt.
Uh uh, NYC ed. See, I’m taking the picture. Everyone in the blue shirts…they’re sitting in front of me. And way at the top of the picture…That’s the front of the hall. Way, way, way up there.
You should’ve sat with me in the Washington State delegation: directly left of stage at such an angle we couldn’t see the speakers except on the screen and a flat screen TV. Ugh.
I think I walked around the room ten times just to see what was happening on stage. Oh, well. At least our hotel, while not great, was on the water by the USS Midway.
