I'm not sure it has been mentioned on here - probably not, and probably for good reason - but a cadre (a dozen or so) of Atlas posters are going to be in Philly this week for the convention and I guess this can be the big ol' megathread for it!

There is a tentative scheduling of events throughout the week but I'm not in charge of that and it has not been fully finalized yet, but maybe somebody will post it here once completed.

More to follow, I have to get up in like four hours and ride with BK to the Sister of Citily Love

Are the Bernie delegates planning something that any of you know of? (Specifically this is to Adam.) And what is the ground reaction to the DWS news?

There was a planning thread on AAD, for what it's worth.

Wish I could've gone, but I wouldn't have been able to go out of town this summer.

Haha, yes, it was founded here thanks in part to the high density of high college students.

Interesting. I have no plans to attend the DNC, nor would I want to. Unlikely that I would want to meet anyone from the forum realtime, and even less likely that anyone would want to meet me.

I did meet two local members here over ten years ago, but haven't since then.

I am very close to Philly.

I was aware of them being in Ann Arbor!

In any case, actually jealous of you guys. Have fun!

So, we were unable to go to the convention (after the implication that we were). On the way back to Villanova (where we are staying) our bus driver crashed into other drivers' bumper which took about 45 minutes to resolve. When we finally got back, it was pouring (not raining POURING) so we had to run through the rain to eat. I, however, lost my keycard on the way in the rain. I promptly ran back to look for it, and did not see it. Pissed, I tried a second time, and found it under one of the bushes. I was finally able to eat.

After eating I checked my phone battery which I knew was low, but not 30% lower then when I last saw. I went to my and did my mightiest to charge it, but due to it being wet on the inside I couldn't get it to work. After about 20 minutes of blowing as hard as I could on it, it finally worked.

And so Atlas... I now will go watch the Democratic National Convention.

A record number of Atlasians converged upon one place! I won't tell you who specifically, but...
