Thoughts on Viernes--Convention Edition

Personal Highlights--

Other than meeting Democratic VIPs and supporting Latino Democratic unity?

Before giving her campaign speech at the MAD Caucus, the next Lt. Gov. of Texas wished me a Happy Birthday! That really made my week! Of course, I hung out with him and TOTALLY FORGOT...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REP. AARON PENA!!!!! Sorry, man. All the excitement from meeting some of the VIPs made me forget.

I got elected in SD4 to serve on the tabulation team, representing the Charlie Urbina-Jones campaign.

My sis, Toni Medellin, was elected in SD4 to serve on the nominations committee. She ran on a platform calling for "No Recommendation." Good luck at the meeting, 'mana!

Blogger's Caucus: I missed it all! Well, practically. After the long evening session at the Arena, a whole group of SD4-Harris folks went out to eat and "talk shop." We didn't go "exotic" we went to Chilis! Not bad, but not the greatest either. After I got upstairs, I saw another Latino VIP, State Rep. Escobar from Kingsville and I believe it was State Rep. Trey Martinez-Fischer, whom I met earlier at the Hispanic Caucus. They seemed to be plotting something--maybe the takeover of the world? Oh, that's right. That was being done at my table. Anyway, I finally made it to the Caucus and hung out with Brains and Huevos P. Diddie himself, Mrs. Diddie, and DVO himself, David Van Os. DVO is also a reader of DC. So, now I know what these leaders do when they aren't campaigning! Reading blogs! We're important y'all!!!

I did get to finally meet Annatopia and Vince Leibowitz. I promised them I'd make it to the Arena Floor with my laptop on Saturday so I could blog a little from the floor. And maybe post more photos. I need photos with my fellow blogueros!!!

Another highlight was talking for a bit to State Rep. Anna Hernandez who is just too cool; saw my bud and sometimes critic Sandra; my e-mail buddy from Latinos for Texas Crystal Viagran and her associate Lila Valencia. Good to see you all. We must get a photo so I can place it on the blog and make you famous. Or is that "infamous"?

See you all in 8 hours. I'm tired, sleepy, and ready for some more!

I barely made it to the Bloggers Caucus at 11:30pm and by the time I left (30 minutes later), I was dead tired.

Then I saw you in downtown Sunday morning, but I was on my way to meeting my sis for the road home. I guess time just wasn't on our side--too much stuff to do.

But soon--mucho chat!
