Cheers and Jeers: Tuesday

Please support Netroots for the Troops

From the GREAT STATE OF MAINE?

WANTED: Warm Bodies for Hot Time

The countdown to the Netroots Nation convention in Minneapolis continues: 44 days and a rapidly-diminishing number of hours, minutes and seconds to go.

We know that Russ Feingold will be the opening night keynoter, and word is Senator Al Franken is also a go.

We also know that the Netroots Nation '11 agenda has been announced. You can peruse the panel descriptions here. Specific dates, times, moderators and panelists will be updated in the coming days and weeks, so bookmark it and check back from time to time.

And, most important, we know that volunteers are needed to make everything run smoothly. Shanna Ingalsbee is the Volunteer Coordinator for this year's event, and she needs a few good men and women:

There are three main areas where we need the most volunteers:

• The registration desk, the Netroots Nation booth in the exhibit hall, and the bookstore.
• Pre-convention help stuffing the registration bags and putting the name badges together.
• Post-convention help to pack up and clean up.

We can also offer free registration for those volunteers willing to put in enough time---donate four hours of your time and get the rest of the day free.

Besides helping to make the convention run smoothly, spending some time as a volunteer is a great way to meet people, especially if it's your first time at Netroots Nation. To raise your hand across the miracle of the internets, contact Shanna via email at:

volunteers@netrootsnation.org

If you have your own blog, feel free to cross-post this info so we can get the word out. The more the merrier, I say. (I also say that about orgies, bottles of beer on the wall and waffles.)

Cheers and Jeers starts below the fold... [Swoosh!!] RIGHTNOW! [Gong!!]
