“The weather is here, wish you were beautiful!”

Just thought I’d drop a note from beautiful Sioux Falls, where a few of us have gathered to discuss ways to increase common sense conservative ideals in new media, especially through blogs such as this one.

The event is being sponsored by the Sam Adams Alliance, an organization dedicated to educating and informing citizens about the important political issues necessary to maintaining a free society, including government accountability, government transparency, property rights protection, fiscal responsibility, free speech, and citizen initiative and referendum rights (ya, I stole that from their About Us page).

In short, these guys are awesome. Our hosts are Ken Marrero and Emily Zanotti, both of whom you may recognize from their works in and outside the conservative blogosphere.

This conference promises to be a great time for all involved. I’m sure we all hope to take what is learned here tomorrow and apply it where it is most useful (wherever that may be).
