Netroots Nation is coming up. From July 22-25, there’s a big meet up, and this year it’s in Las Vegas and Al Franken is the keynote speaker.
Netroots Nation amplifies progressive voices by providing an online and in-person campus for exchanging ideas and learning how to be more effective in using technology to influence the public debate. Through our annual convention and a series of regional salons held throughout the year, we strengthen our community, inspire action and serve as an incubator for ideas that challenge the status quo and ultimately affect change in the public sphere.
They’re having an auction, and one of the items is this:
Wait, what? Why pick a tie for Markos? Because when he pops up on Countdown, as he is wont to do, Twitter goes all a-Twitter over his choice of ties, so Netroots Nation decided to have some fun with that.
And you thought March Madness was a basketball tournament. Not for Netroots Nation.The tradition continues with our Spring On-line Auction, the proceeds of which support the important work we do, including our annual Convention and our regional Salon Series.
So let the bidding madness begin! [...]
Through donating items and generously bidding, you help us offset the cost of the Convention and our regional salon series. And for this we thank you.
CSPAN covers this event, and it has become a pretty darn big deal.
