My production level was a little low yesterday -- at least on the stuff I can post. Instead of trying to do a bunch a pictures and written posts, we're doing lots of video interviews, with Radical Russ holding one of our available digital video cameras. We just can't download the vids until we the convention is over because of the extra equipment and software were going to need to process the videos.

However, I did get two scoops yesterday. Dana Beyer gave us some new news that we may be the first to break, and as Russ mentioned in his post -- we got a scoop that seems huge to us...A transgender woman from Trinidad, Colorado cornered Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) outside the doors of the Wednesday LGBT Caucus meeting, and she asked Rep. Frank about ENDA. I was tipped off by a trans ally that we may want to get this on film too -- we were the only one to catch this exchange on film. It appears the sound on the video may need to be enhanced too, but Radical Russ, as an Air America satellite station radio host, has the audio equipment and software to clean up the sound.
