Woo-hoo! Jessamyn may be getting blogger press credentials for the 2004 Democratic National Convention, thanks in part to an entry I made a few months ago.
I didn’t bother to apply for blogger press credentials. I won’t be able to go because of a prior commitment, and I couldn’t afford to go, in any case. Besides, I’m not a journalist. I write about things that interest me whenever I get the bug to write. I hate assignments, and a press pass to blog the DNC would be very much like a writing assignment.
see, this is crazy because jessamyn’s story is precisly opposite my own experience. the dncc sent me a letter saying “you’re in” and then sent an email and a follow up letter saying, “psyche! you’re out.” but it was a good post and a good idea anyway, anna, and it looks like it worked out for someone.
