2008 On the Radio

I’ve been spending a lot of my time at the Democratic convention in scenes like this:
From left to right that’s David Rolf, president of a NW chapter of the Service Employees International Union; Geo from Blue Scholars; and Seattle music promoter Dave Meinert, all taking a break from their margaritas yesterday afternoon at Tamayo, a two level bar and restaurant in downtown Denver. This SEIU reception was just one in a huge schedule of parties, most of them fueled by lots of free booze and food, that happen in the background during convention week (or in the foreground, depending on your priorities). I’ve made it a high priority to be at as many parties as possible, which is why I may have sounded a little less than lucid in an interview I just did for KUOW about what’s happening in convention-land, what the Washington delegation is up to, and what the politics of the week look like.
It will air this morning during Morning Edition on 94.9 FM if you want to give it a listen.
That's not Sabzi. Looks more like Geo from Blue Scholars.
Rolf's the president of SEIU 775, they've got members all across the state and in montana.
Looks like a good time though!
Thank you, J-lon and Common. All fixed.
Wow, Eli, you really are wasted LOL
COMMENT DELETED: Sulk Puppetry
We'd rather not moderate your comments, but off-topic, gratuitously inflammatory, threatening, or otherwise inappropriate remarks may be removed, and repeat offenders may be banned from commenting. We never censor comments based on ideology. Thanks to all who add to the conversation on Slog.
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
As I wake up to face the day with my hanging earlobes and old tattoos, I wish I was in Denver this week. Tragically, I'm working during prime time all week and won't be able to see much of the convention live and will have to make do with CNN and the Slog after the fact.
So, stay relatively sober, Eli. I'm looking forward to your commentary.
From left to right, Geo from Blue Scholars looks an awful lot like Dave Meinert.
All this Denver coverage is making me want to call my parents.
You came across fine on KUOW, Eli. I wouldn't worry.
Stay away from the blue drinks.
Somebody remind me please what pivotal role Geo from Blue Scholars is playing in securing the future of our democracy in Denver? Just wondering. Meinert too, for that matter.
@10 Have you listened to the Blue Scholars? There will probably be a song about whatever happens there this week on the next album, unless nothing really exciting happens.
