Greetings from the National Conference for Media Reform 2008, happening at the Mpls Convention Center this weekend. I’ve been here all day and having a pretty fine time too, even tho I’m operating on a mere 3 hours of sleep (my youngest officially graduated from high school yesterday, with a commencement ceremony at Northrup Auditorium last night that seemed to last an entire month). Then the new graduate needed to be at work to open at 5 am today, so I dutifully woke him up at 4, then managed to get myself ready and get downtown to the convention center shortly before 8am. No way was I going to miss Bill Moyers’ keynote address at this morning’s plenary session..
Update: I’m sure many of you have seen this by now. Honestly, I had no idea this was happening. I think at the time I was already on my way over to where the booksigning was going to be. Gloriosky, this is so sweet! Watch how Moyers absolutely pwns this guy. And with such warmth and wit, too. 74 freaking years old and still dazzling, still able to think fast on his feet… Is it any wonder Bill Moyers is, and will always be my hero?
