YCT 2010

I think the title implies a yearly deal, but it's new to me. It's the Young Conservatives of Texas - a "non-partisan conservative youth organization" - and its activists are - you guessed it - conservatives. It was their 30th deal and it was a weekend filled with conservative speakers. I don't recall how I found out about YCT, but I ended up on their email list. I had been ripe for a conservative anything, so when I found out Michelle Malkin was one of the speakers, I got that "thrill up my leg" and registered. Now, I knew going in that I would not know anybody at the conference, but I wasn't going to let my social apprehensions keep me away.

04.09.2010. The first day. Friday was a meet and greet pachanga. I met a few of the alumni, but I basically did a snack drive-by and scurried home. The most annoying thing about that evening - other than my social retardation - was the uppity drink guy who got all upset at my request for a glass of ice water. Seriously folks, it's not in my nature to pony up $3 for bottled water if I can help it. That was it for Friday.
