Let's Go to the Tape.

Categorized under YKos2007 | Tags: YearlyKos 2007

THERE WILL BE no last installment on Nezua Crashes Yearlykos 2007 in this blog. I've been hashing it over...trying to find the balance between tying up and yet not giving it all away, not completely concluding and just finally realized the rest has to be on tape. Now that I've...

Caucusoidus Rex [Nez Crashes YearlyKos Pt. 7]

Categorized under Blogando , YKos2007 | Tags: YearlyKos 2007

RACE MAY NOT exist, but what do exist are the thoughts and value systems and histories of all the peoples of this land. And therein are told many stories. And stories are still being told. The celebrated and well-distributed and well-known stories are not the entire truth. They are not the only stories, and if they are the only stories we are reading and speaking, then we spread falsehood. If those formats and framings and hierarchies of reference are the only legends we pass down, then we pass down ignorance.

Laptop Revolutionary [Nez Crashes YearlyKos Pt. 6]

Categorized under YKos2007 | Tags: Race, YearlyKos 2007

EVEN WITH THE TITLE you sense my smirk and my tongue-in-cheek approach to the Great New Progressive Movement Convention, don't you? Well don't you, vato? So...qué? Did you think you were flying Anderson Cooper out to Chitown? Hmm? But I will do my best to separate my experience from...

Categorized under YKos2007 | Tags: Race, YearlyKos 2007

AND SO WE PICK UP THE TALE of Nezua at YearlyKos at the Quad; at 525 South State Street in Chicago. The first night and I see a pattern begin that later repeats: me at home whilst others do the night life thing. But I've known for a while that...

AND HERE'S A SHORT NOTE to anyone who has, in any way, attempted to adjust (or who plans to attempt to adjust) the rate at which I write my YearlyKos tale or put together my film on same: SHUT UP. And I mean that very nicely. Picture me with...

Security Threat [Nez Crashes YearlyKos Pt. 4]

Categorized under YKos2007 | Tags: blogs, My Life, YearlyKos 2007

WHERE WAS I? Right, at the Quad with the Quad Squad. Got in on Wednesday night, and people were Funky Buddha-ing without me because I stepped into a train tunnel in Chitown hoping to save myself some cash. That's right. I blew into the Windy City and looked at...

I AM TRYING TO TAKE MY TIME with this YearlyKos tale and do it the right way. It's a fine line. On one hand, I have my pace. On the other hand, I don't want to give too much up, so that there is something left for the actual...

AND SO I LANDED SAFELY and once again, all my drastic plane fears were unfounded. It's not just that I get frightened when I fly now, I get sure that this is the last time I'll fly. I develop a faulty sense of impending doom, and everything takes on...

OKAY, back in the Quad. Going to eat lunch, go outside, catch some sound from the el train, and then pack up all my stuff. Thanks to my FedExing amig@s for their help. You know who you are, and you know the help you have given. I'm not going to...

I PLANNED ON POSTING A FEW STILLS from today, from the Latino Caucus, from the Press conference that Moulitsas held, from McCormick Hall, but it seems my digital still camera broke while in my bag (wheeee, but oh well, it was old, and a gift anyway), and of all...

The Fear-O-Port

DONE WITH THE FIRST SECURITY CHECK where the airport called a flag on my bag, but surprise, suprise, it wasn't the one I thought. Not that I cared. They can go through all of it, I just don't want my stuff trashed. The funny part is that they yanked...

I'm Part of a New, Vicious Thing

Categorized under YKos2007 | Tags: pundits

SERIOUSLY, Billious is trippin' out. His vilification-addiction is bloated into such an extreme shape here that it really bobbles into damn good comedy. This is the high sheen on the Oreilly caricature. This is the damn sparkle. Very entertaining!...
