BMG and Harvard's Berkman Center team up for a 2006 election blogstravaganza!

by: David

Mon Nov 06, 2006 at 10:58:42 AM EST


(Bumped. Stop by in Cambridge or at the Hynes Center in between all of your hard work for the candidates. - promoted by Bob)

The good folks at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society have kindly agreed to host a unique election day live-blogging extravaganza, to which all bloggers, commenters, and lurkers, of whatever political stripe, are cordially invited.  Starting at 10 am or so, Bob (up from New York for the occasion), Charley, and I will all be on site at the Berkman Center blogging the day's events -- both local and national, as we hear about them -- and you are heartily encouraged to join us.  The Berkman folks offer free wi-fi (BYOLaptop, if you can), as well as free refreshments throughout the day, and we of course offer scintillating conversation and astonishing good looks.

The Berkman Center is just outside of Harvard Square in Cambridge, next to the law school campus, on the second floor of 23 Everett Street (Everett runs between Mass. Ave. and Oxford Street, and unfortunately does not have a street sign on the Mass. Ave. end - note that it's called Chauncy St. on the other side of Mass. Ave.).  No. 23 is an unprepossessing yellow house, and I don't think there's a sign (or possibly even a street number) on the building, which is an odd choice by the powers that be at Harvard, but there you go. 

We hope many of you can stop by and see what's cooking at some point during the day.  (Also, the Berkman Center is itself an interesting place to check out.)  If you know you'll be coming, drop us a line so that we can give the Berkman folks a heads-up on turnout.  But please, feel free to stop by even if you haven't RSVP'd.  We'd love to see lots of you there.

Once election day is close to wrapping up, we will depart the Berkman Center for Deval Patrick's election night party at the Hynes Convention Center, and we'll be live-blogging from there as the returns come in.  I'm sure we'll see lots of you there.

Oh sure (6.00 / 2)
You guys get to play while the rest of us work!

Sometimes I wonder whether I made the smart choice between blogger & activist!

Ditto sco! (0.00 / 0)
But then I think about delivering Lowell for Deval, and I can choke down the envy.

Then again, YOU BMG people will be "working" at the Hynes liveblogging and *I* will be DONE and partying!

Anyone up for bloggery fun afterwards? I'll be exhausted, but if my chauffeur agrees, I am no where near willing to go home to bed early, since I am taking Wednesday off!

Left in Lowell: cuz why read the Lowell Sun if you don't have to? ;)

Me too! (0.00 / 0)
I've done all I can do.  Tomorrow I have a bunch of kids going on a multi-location field trip that includes the Coordinated Campaign Headquarters in Worcester.  Then I go home, hold a sign for a bit, then bail early to drive into Boston with a friend.  I'm not even hanging around to collect vote totals in my town because I'm so confident we'll do fine.  We may even win, which will be a huge accomplishment for a Democratic candidate for governor. 

So, given all of that, I decided I'd drive over to the right-hand side of the state to take in the scene at the Hynes  and take Wednesday as a personal day as a reward for my hard work.

I am NOT leaving Boston (0.00 / 0)

someone not working the polls tomorrow needs to coordinate bloggery stuff. 

I'll be covering 2 polls tomorrow with my trusty pal, Andy.

That's a deal! (0.00 / 0)
And I agree.  Since the bloggers have time to site around all day thinking up stuff to write, they can come up with a place to meet that won't be so crowded we can't find each other. 

David?  Charley?  Bob?  Who's on party-planning duty?

Seconded (0.00 / 0)
A smaller, quieter (as if there would be anywhere quiet on an election night in Boston!) spot to raise a glass with BMG folks either before heading to the Hynes or after leaving it would be great.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down.

Who can make a recommendation (0.00 / 0)
for a place within walking distance of the Hynes?  I'm not familiar enough with all the places in the area.

A bit last minute, but here's a shot: (0.00 / 0)
I'm going offgrid now, heading from UMB to Hynes, and I'm going to try to hit up the Pour House at 907 Boylston (so that should be right near the Hynes, probably across the street), which I've just been told is good and cheap.  I'll probably get there around 7.

Oh, well -- that's what I get for answering my damn phone. :-)

I'll see you all there (0.00 / 0)
as well. I hope will probably be dead on my feet, but will at least have one drink with ya'll before heading home. We are probably going to need to wait for the results in AZ  and MT so it will be a long night.

Looking forward to it (0.00 / 0)
I'm at school until 4pm tomorrow, but I'll certainly try to make it to the Hynes.  Should we wear nametags, so fellow BMGers can put faces to blog handles? :-)

I'll be the one wearing the Deval Patrick pin (6.00 / 2)

That reminded me of last Friday, my wife and I went in to Roxbury for the Obama rally: she picked me up from work on here way home from work, and we headed straight in, so I was waiting at the Dunkin Donuts to get snack and coffee, and she went into the main room to get us seats and I gave her the Patrick/Murray sign in my hand so I'd be able to find her in the crowd :)

Seriously? (0.00 / 0)
Good thing all of the campaigns have plenty of people and don't need any more help with ther GOTV operations.

I listed some races here. Others posted more on the same thread.

There will be plenty of time to catch up on blogging after tomorrow. Seriously, we're going to need something to do after the elections are over!


Yes, seriously (0.00 / 0)
Just stop by between all the sign holding and voter driving.
