Adoption
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sun, 02/26/2006 - 18:04I’m tired. I was up late last night, and then Kim called this morning while I was still sleeping. Perhaps this makes me a little more sensitive than usual. So, as I worked on my notes for me session on tracking the local blogosphere for the New Organizing Institute, I stumbled across this blog and got horribly distracted.
Dawit is a young boy from Ethiopia that a couple here in Connecticut has just adopted. It is a wonderful blog. Please take a little time to read it. It is written by GaiaGal. (See earlier posts here.)
The CT News Junkie Party
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 02/09/2006 - 10:29Last night I went to the CT News Junkie Party at Rajun Cajun in Hartford. I was a good party and as Dan Levine commented on CT News Junkie last night after the party, “It was fabulous to see so many people do more than just gripe about the state of journalism, but take action by eating some damn good food!”
If you want good journalism about what is going on in the State, be sure to check out www.ctnewsjunkie.com. If you want to eat good fried turkey, spicy chicken, crawfish and have some inexpensive beers in the Hartford area, be sure to check out Rajun Cajun.
Wearing lots of hats
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Mon, 02/06/2006 - 13:35Well, it looks like I’m putting on a new hat, working for the Ned Lamont campaign. It is going to be even more complicated keeping all these hats straight and hopefully this will help some of you have a better sense of the hats I’ll be wearing.
I expect to be spending a lot of time doing online organizing for the Lamont campaign. The details are still being worked out.
I will also continue to be involved with the DeStefano campaign. One of my biggest worries is that people will see this as some sort of coalition. I know there are Malloy supporters that support Lamont and that are DeStefano supporters that support Lieberman. I don't want my involvement in multiple campaigns to alienate such people. This will become all the more important when we all need to work together after the primaries.
The Super Bowl Beer Primary

Kim is doing scheduling for the Lamont campaign and I'm going to be very involved with the online part of the game, so we ended up having a weekend talking with people about Ned's campaign around the state.
In particular, I want to highlight a Super Bowl party we went to Saturday in Greenwich. I know a lot of people think of Greenwich and think of the palatial estates in the back country, but there is another side of Greenwich too. The party we went to was in a small apartment in downtown Greenwich.
