I am writing from the Netroots Nation convention in Austin. I saw this view of the capital building while crossing a street on the way to dinner the other night. I ran back to get the picture but you can figure out why it looks like it was taken in a hurry while running:
It is a very busy convention with multiple hour-long panel sessions -- up to thirteen -- on at the same time. I always want to be at three of the panels, of course.
Commonweal Institute has a "booth" in the exhibit hall. Here is a picture of the booth:
