I mean, this entire Convention is one big party, a celebration of Netroots unity, identity, ideas and, above all, community.

Yeah, yeah, but like where are all the parties tonight? That was the question put to me by the 2CO guys in the bar last night, and with all the generous organizations and political campaigns, it's almost impossible to keep up with this dizzying social schedule! Good question, boys!
