Blog Summit II Recap

First off, GOP3.com live blogged the event.  I was late and arrived right about the time that they left.  I’m very thankful that they could fill me in as to what happened before I got there. 

The event went well.  Thank you very much to Wispolitics, Marquette University, and everybody else who was involved.  It was a good experience.

Since it’s now several hours after the fact and I’m done with the inaugural mowing of my lawn, here are a few random comments on the event…

- Eugene Kane is smaller than I expected.  He’s funny, but predictable.  I couldn’t get over my disgust at his inherent racism.  Que sera sera. 

- My panel went well, I thought.  As expected, I went off the cuff… but I wore two cuffs to give me the upper hand on the audience. 

- I hate to admit it, but I really like Jay, Scott, and a few other liberal bloggers.  OK, I don’t “hate” to admit it, but I thought you should know.

- Every time I have a chance to share time with Tom McMahon, I am humbled.  What a fantastic human being.

- Nick has some pictures here. 

- Mike Gousha is a classy, classy guy.  I had never met him in person before and he lived up to his reputation.  Milwaukee needs more guys like him. 

- As usual, the after-party was the best.  I was able to share beer and conversation with a gaggle of bloggers, both liberal and not so liberal.  I really enjoy those gatherings. 

OK, I’m off to give some kids some baths.  Thanks, everyone, for the great time.  I look forward to the next gathering. 

UPDATE: Here’s the Wispolitics summary.
