Al Gore's marbles - now officially missing without trace?
I've had to blow the dust off this vintage Gaffney:
Good reason, though:
'Former VP Al Gore is speaking at the CTIA Wireless show on April 3. But the giant trade show says:
Special Notice: Photography, recording, webcasting and any other reproduction of Vice President Al Gore's speaking appearance is strictly prohibited.
The press, whatever that is these days, has been barred from coverage, too, according to a letter on the Romenesko media blog: No one with a press pass will be allowed in.
This calls for a) lots and lots of blogging of the event by attendees who are not registered as press; and b) "official" press interviews of attendees and publication of those interviews. (I might also note, just for the sake of noting it, that you don't have to be obvious about waving around a smart phone with a video camera; audio and video recording gear has gotten really small and cheap.)'

Edit for J, et al: "Party" still doesn't work as a verb. Sorry. ;o)
Have a great weekend, everyone.
