UPDATE (8/20): Had a pretty crappy medical issue come up, so I'm sadly passing on this trip to rest up before Denver.

I hit the the road tomorrow afternoon to attend the National Gay & Lesbian Journalists Association convention (here's the schedule). I will be on the Media Summit Live Broadcast of the Mike Signorile Show; as you will see below, I'm representing the dirty, unwashed masses of the blogosphere alongside the "real" journalists. It's great to attend this event, because there's clearly some tension between the worlds of blogger citizen journalism, commentary and the traditional press, and that goes for LGBT media as well. Candidates have increasingly reached out to the blogs, so the issues of access are going to provide interesting discussion.
