| Sorry for checking in so late, but I have tried to fill up on panels and then bombard you all with concise posts on panels VERY soon. I have attend four panels as of this posting and will probably conclude my day by attending Beyond the Political Sphere and the Netroots Candidates event at my hotel later.
But first I must tell a story.
I headed back to my hotel in between panels just for some down time and to download my pictures and video from the panel featuring John Dean in the morning. I walked to the elevator and waited (sometimes it can be a long wait for an elevator up and down in my hotel). Finally, an elevator opens up. Two men are standing there. I thought nothing of it for about two seconds.
Then, I do a double-take.
I am sharing an elevator with Richard Clarke and Rand Beers. No kidding.
I introduced myself and both men were very gracious. When they realized they were going back up again (I'll explain why they got "lost" on the elevator later) Clarke remarked, "I think you hijacked our elevator."
I got off on the 10th floor, impressed by what I just experienced.
I will have more posts very soon on different panels that I have attended, including the last several minutes of a panel featuring former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. |
