Dispatch From Denver: Blogger Booze Bash

August 28, 2008

Bloggers were expected to gather Thursday night at Trios Enoteca, a wine bar in the heart of Denver's historic lower downtown (LoDo), to swap stories about the past couple of days spent in the Mile High City and get tanked. Registration for the event closed a while back and the organizers -- a political blogger and a mommy blogger -- were expecting a big crowd. "We don't discriminate. Tell your friends, bring your grannie if you must," they wrote.

One of the event's sponsors, You2Gov, is running a contest for the best 30-second homemade TV political ad in the country for either Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain, with a $1,000 reward in every category. All submissions must be in the form of a YouTube video link and the deadline is Sept. 30. Winners will be announced Oct. 16.
