Greetings, all. For some reason, while I am running around being a convention dork, all the other Weekly bloggers are napping or pillaging or doing things that actually pay—but not doing very much blogging.

To quote Kyle (or is it Stan?) from South Park: You bastards!

In any case, later tonight (early tomorrow morning?), I'll blog about today's convention goings-on (assuming I don't drink too much, as is tradition, at the parties tonight). It's been an interesting day, led by Wesley Clark's speech.

In the meantime, it turns out other blog nerds are doing the blog thing from AAN. While they won't have the Tucson-centric angle as I (hopefully) do, they're worth checking out. Here's a handy little list compiled by the crack staff at the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies.

But for now, I am off to a museum party, where there are supposed to be lots of Picasso paintings (in Arkansas—who knew?). And, of course, there will also be ample amounts of newspaper kvetching and drinking.
