Guess Who's Going to New York?

Posted by Bill

I mean, besides the "real" terrorists, the real terrorists, and the wacko-loon protestors?

That's right ... and INDC Journal intends to smoke the competition. You hear me Wizbang, Catalano and Captain Ed? I'm coming for you!

Thanks much to RNC for the kind invite and otherwise excellent treatment.*

* Assuming that they don't revoke the credentials after offering them to me.

PS - I normally wouldn't think to beg anyone for additional donations after shaking you all down for the Dan Eggers Memorial Fund pledge drive, but this will be a very expensive trip, and if you kick in a pledge, I promise to hunt down Michael Moore and ask him all manner of interesting questions ...

UPDATE: You all can relax! I know how many of you get frightened and scamper into the lurking darkness when the concept of donations comes up, but this is a soft, casual apppeal. No guilt trip. It's fine. Really.

I have very very little money so I can't pledge anything, but I live in Manhattan (hence the money issue) and if you and the other bloggers would like to come by for dinner or something, I'd feed you... I'm a very good cook...

Conga rats dude.

I'm gonna meet Bill!

I am so going to kick your ass, Bill.

Katie - thanks for the offer, but dinner time is probably going to be when the heart of the work is going down ...

Michele - I didn't say anything about meeting any of of you; while you guys are down on lowly blogger row, I'ma be up in Denny Hastert's skybox, sucking down cold ones and eating rock shrimp.

Congrats Bill!
Please take pictures. I so love your moonbat photo essays with unique commentary.

Bill,

If you're going to do a "Roger and Me" type of blogumentary of The Lard One's Caloric Intake then I'm in for $20.

Well, I can't promise anything, as I've heard that his security detail keeps hum very well secured from the common people, but I'll see what I can do.

Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 10:12 AM

Excuse me, but did you say something about sucking Denny Hastert?

Posted by: michele at August 3, 2004 10:34 AM

Whatever it takes to get a seat in the skybox.

Well there goes the neigborhood. You know that the last credentialled has to pick up all the bar tabs, right?

FYI - flyi.com Dulles to JFK $150 Roundtrip - cheaper than the train...

Congratulations Bill.
*scamper scamper*

Congratulations!

Now, which one of you will draw the short straw and blog the protests?

Posted by: ccwbass at August 3, 2004 10:51 AM

The protests are mine.

DCA is much more convenient, $219. Not bad.

Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 10:58 AM

I'm covering the protests for ASV and the convention for Command Post.

And I'm gonna kick Bill's ass if he gets in my way.

Unless I hire him for protection.

Posted by: michele at August 3, 2004 11:46 AM

Oh no, I'm not menacing. I just blend in with them. And by virtue of my special ability to commune with the species, I will sic them on Michele, much like the Beastmaster exhorts the animal kingdom to do his bidding.

Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 11:53 AM

Bill, you blog in full drag from the RNC and I'll fund the trip.

Posted by: Val Prieto at August 3, 2004 02:07 PM

lol, you can't afford me.

Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at August 3, 2004 02:09 PM

Congrats Bill!

Posted by: Scott at August 3, 2004 02:30 PM

Congrats.

Congratulations Bill! i am so jealous. i would have loved to have gone myself, but with my single digit readership, it just wasn't to be. Still, i can read your posts from NY and content myself with having won the third sexiest blogger award last year. : )

I'm not going to try to get into the convention anymore, but I'll hang with the ProtestWarrior action and blog the protests. Tacitus and I are doing a meal at some point, maybe we can all rendevous.
