Weekend plans

..for the congressional district conventions. Tom Scheck is covering the 5th. Tim Pugmire is covering the 6th. Since I expect both to be long, multiple-ballot affairs, I doubt I'll have the audio and the obligatory -- if not interesting -- picture of the losers embracing the winners until Sunday. Of course, on Sunday a guy is flying in to Lake Elmo to show me his company's cockpit intercom system (among my other hobbies is a weekly newsletter for experimental airplane builders, and I guess he thinks a mention in it would lead to more sales), so I'm not sure how all the timing is going to work out yet.

update 10:29 a.m. If you're live blogging from any of the conventions, please e-mail me and I'll put a list together.
