Dave Winer comes looking for political bloggers and is bemused by the informality of the Seattle Meet-Up

 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 have 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.
