2004 September 15 I am tickled to go to my
second meet-up in downtown Seattle after meeting Dave Winer at Scoble's
barbecue just after he arrived in Seattle. It was an interesting
time, with the presidential election campaign in full swing. Dave
wanted to create a meeting of political bloggers, which he was able to
do later. We didn't turn out to be the pivotal state that he
thought, although we still had an unresolved gubernatorial election in
May, 2005.

Kristi Heim, a Seattle Times reporter, showed up with a photographer later. She asked some great questions about whether and how local bloggers engage local issues. Later, she gets a great article above the fold on the front page, with a nice column about Dave too. I learned that Kristi had been at the San Jose Mercury, and is a big fan of Dan Gillmor. At a later Meet-up we talked about Dan's citizen journalism venture and also more about local political blogging. I learned about the Shark's Blog and the anti-monorail and related activities from Kristi's article.
