Blogging at the Virginia inauguration

Originally uploaded by bearingdrift

Loved the accommodations on inauguration day! Of course, it was better than being jammed into the limited space they had available on the media risers. Print media had a place to file stories in the Patrick Henry building – but that was too far for any live posting. (Which, if you recall, was an epic fail anyway – I should have used Cover-it Live instead of BlogTalkRadio.)

The TV guys got to the risers early and put pieces of 8.5×11 paper down saying “Reserved For”…so there was no room for anyone else. Hopefully, next time, a little more thought will go into making sure bloggers and print media have an opportunity to work at the actual site.

Of course, I am just happy I was credentialed.
