(imagine me singing that word) Amidst a field of 98 super qualified exciting people competing for scholarships to the Netroots Nation Conference, I am in 5th place.

Last night was the first time I’ve seen Sandra Bernhard perform. I hope it won’t be the last. Sandra Bernhard can sing. Really sing. Sing enough to bring her accompanist.
