been incredibly busy with work since i returned from missouri. crazy busy. i'm the "convenor" of a major democratic party event today. it's expected that many hundreds of people will attend. this being san francisco, that's to be expected with interest in politics high. other areas of the state where these things happen usually have anywhere from 20-50 people. it's a different political world here. and somehow i'm the one who's heading up this important meeting today. for some background on the meetings, click here for the official description and activities (i'm listed under assembly district #13), and for some internal political background, you can see this piece (scroll down to the section entitled 'conventioneering'). it's going to be quite a day and sometime tonight it will all be over and i can sleep all day tomorrow...
