Speaking of which, the Netroots Nation confab is being held at the Austin convention center next weekend. I can't imagine a more dismal place to be, or a more insulting demand than paying $450 ($450!) to rub elbows with Kos, Pandagon, Pelosi, and Dean.
I'm trying get as far away as possible. Anybody have a place on Paradise Bay or the Sea of Tranquility I can house-sit?
