So I'm in Philadelphia for work.
I've been MIA for a bit because I've been working so hard on getting this new web site ready for launch. It's being announced tomorrow by our CEO at this convention.
Interestingly... I took a train here. Which reminded me that in the movie Trading Places, Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd took a train to New York from Philadelphia. I just walked past a couple of places that looked familiar from the movie. Al Franken played a baggage handler in the movie. I will have the opportunity to meet Al Franken on Sunday. This conference is a pretty big deal in the political world apparently. We've got about 17 people running for a federal office speaking, Sen John Edwards is speaking, Al Frankin is speaking, Arlen Spectre is speaking, Gov Rendell is speaking... Obama is speaking via a video tape. Nancy Pelosi is speaking via video tape (ew). Sorry. She bugs me.
Oh. And I'm speaking.
How did I go from bored web guy to speaking to the same audience as Al Frankin and John Edwards? I was our acting director last week.
At least I got a hair cut.
Also, the train station in Philly is the same one used in the Fisher King... I love that movie.
I made the mistake of wearing a Yankees jersey here. I've been yelled at twice.
The train was fun.
I'm sleepy.
More to follow. I ate a free donut and bottled water. I'm living the dream!
