Blogger’s Caucus positive vibe drives optimism

Posted in Around The State, State Convention at 10:57 pm by dembones

Annatopia put on a party that will be long-remembered by all who attended. Upstairs at the Flying Saucer in Fort Worth right now is a mosh pit of about 200 officeholders, candidates, bloggers and supporters getting together after an exhausting day at the state convention. Politics, hope, WEP keys and draft pints were in ample supply.

Update: Others have estimated 300 attended. It was jam-packed, that’s for sure.

“The List” is below the fold.

Here’s the list of candidates:

  • Barbara Radnofsky
  • John Courage
  • Mary Beth Harrell
  • David Van Os
  • Glenn Melancon
  • Aaron Pena
  • David and Paula Hightower Pierson
  • Valinda Bolton
  • Nick Lampson
  • Lon Burham
  • Rick and Melissa Noriega (SR145)
  • Tracy O. King
  • David Pillow
  • Paula Pearson

    [...] I cannot count the number of candidates who were present; Dembones from Eye on Williamson actually (with the help of Anna, me, Kuff and others, though he mainly did all the work) did complie a list of the majority of candidates/officeholders who attended. That is here. [...]

    [...] Hey, there’s Brian, whom I must’ve wowed, because I didn’t make his list and Kuff — but he sucks, and Anna, who doesn’t suck whatsoever, and over there standing on the rickety bar stool yelling is Vince. He appears to be having the proverbial good time by all. Everyone. Everybody’s good time is also being had by Vince. [...]

    Count CanOFun also as one of the bloggers there. Have a video/audio/politics website at http://www.canofun.com/blog/ – have taken tons of video footage of the convention so far and will be putting it up after the weekend, including audio of the speeches I liked the best. Right now there’s a video compilation of the kickoff here

    great party!
