I attended the lecture/ debate/ discussion "An Army of Davids or the Triumph of Goliath?" held at the National Press Club in DC. Here are some initial photographs. I'll have a video up before long. It's encoding as I type. I've still got a couple of hours to go. The entire file will be about 1.5 hours long ... lots of great commentary by Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit), Joe Trippi (Howard Dean) and Barry Lynn (New America Foundation). UPDATE: I'm still working on the video. The audio is very uneven and I'm trying to get it to an exceptable quality. It might be a while. ANOTHER UPDATE: The video is up and streaming here. Joe Trippi says some not so nice things about his party and their last candidate (as well as some iffy stuff about Dean) ... oh well. The file will have to be "streaming" as the size will preclude normal downloads that won't task the patience of most users. The video quality won't be the best. I had to use the lowest video setting I could manage because of the time constraints. I asked the moderator before it all began how long it should last and was told 70 to 80 minutes, which put me way beyond the "standard" setting for the video given my storage capacity (1 GB). The audio seems to be OK. And after all, they're just a bunch of talking heads ... not much action here ... so we can ignore video to an extent I think. I've lived in DC most of my life ... this is the first time I've been in the Press Club. Very nice. A bit old-school WASP country-club, etc. yet very much what one would expect. Well, what I would expect at least. Here are the main honchos arriving. I got there early.Still about 3 hours of encoding to go ... I'll have this up first thing in the morning (EST). I hope you enjoy! Here's Glenn Reynolds signing my copy of "An Army of Davids". I'm jumping ahead a bit. I'll be back with more tomorrow.
