Dammit, I am bitter.

You may recall that I wrote about the Kos convention and how white and elitist it was? In the end I ended up going to Chicago the weekend of the convention, unfortunately I was so completely disorganized that I didn’t get to meet with as many bloggers as I liked.  Additionally, one of my complaints was who exactly were the Latinos that were going to be at the convention.  Well, now I know that not only were there some there, other than of course Liza of Culture Kitchen,  but so was for example The Unapologetic Mexican, and he mentioned a Latino Caucus at the Kos convention. A Latino Caucus?  I have a book with the scheduled events from the Kos convention that a friend gave to me, but I didn’t open it this past weekend and I don’t think I will.  I won’t open it because it will only list more things that I missed out on.

I am bitter because I was there and yet didn’t get to participate in the convention.  Bitter because there were good presenters, bitter because all the democratic candidates with the exception of Biden showed up and spoke, bitter because although I am not a fan of Wesley Clark I still would’ve enjoyed hearing him speak.  The whole weekend I felt like a child locked out of a candy store.  I could see the kinds inside devouring the candy some of them not even enjoying their gluttony, and all I wanted was a teeny-tiny taste of it, any of it.

Oh the saddness.  The next best thing would be to be able to go to the democratic national convention, if anyone knows how I can get in please let me know.
