DC People sure are friendly...well when they want to be in your picture they are!

Today was the start of CPAC. First I visited several booths. I learned about a lot of organizations I previously had not heard of. Some I found to be very interesting, others were a little out there for my tastes. I now have a multitude of free pens ( and a tshirt for laura) from all these organizations. I did have some candy...but that's gone now.

After the booths I went to a conservatistm workshop. It had two pannels of several speakers ( including joe the plumber). The workshop was based around the idea of using new media to revive the conservative values (small gov and free market). It also focused on bias in the media and on college campuses. Then I attending another workshop on public speaking.

Then.... Allie and I traveled to China Town again. While on the streets of China Town, we decided to take a picture. I took hers and then when she went to take a picture of me a random man just walked up and put his arm around me. We both smiled for the camera and Allie snapped the photo. Afterwards he told me he just couldn't resist joining in on the photo opportunity and walked away.

After that we had some dinner and walked to several of the monuments ( including my man Abe :)

Tomorrow I'm excited to go to Arlington because I have never been there. Then it's back to the conference for some wonderful speakers and meals!
