Robin Burk is accredited to this year's Conservative Political Action Conference as a member of the Winds of Change.NET team. She's covering CPAC as a private citizen and maybe a "citizen journalist" (if she could figure out what that means), as an academic studying new media trends, and as an ordinary voter interested in national & international affairs. Robin is not affiliated with the organizations who sponsor CPAC.

UPDATE: Trey Jackson captured video of some of the segment. Thanks, Trey!

Well, that was interesting. It happened pretty quickly.

Elizabeth Hamilton, who commented in my post on the Rove talk, and I played telephone tag a bit, but we finally linked up by phone a little after 4pm. I got back to my hotel room with just enough time to drop off my laptop and other stuff, but no time to change clothes or do anything else other than to let y'all know the segment was coming.

Then it was into the car and off to the MSNBC studio near the Capitol. A little makeup and then Erick and I went into individual little rooms with a chair, a camera on a tripod and a monitor hanging from the ceiling. The guy who wired me with a mic disappeard and I was just checking the monitor when the brighter lights went on and we were live -- but I couldn't see where the camera was!

Anyway, I was glad to represent the pajamahadeen, along with Erick, for the TV audience. Erick and I were pretty staid compared to the ruckus about White House press passes (heh).

BTW, the streaming audio from my stint with Patrick Hynes (Ankle Biting Pundits) on Kevin McCullough's radio show Crosswalk will be linked from his site until noon tomorrow, if you're interested. He's got separate audio from each of his segments with bloggers here. There's a commercial break in the middle, but keep listening (if you find it interesting LOL) for the second half of the segment Patrick and I did.
