My smelly valentine: Sewage treatment plant offers tours

[MineralMan]

23. I see, this morning, in my Facebook feed,

that your news concerns an Occupy gathering at the Democratic Convention in your area. I'll read your report when it appears. My question: were you credentialed to be inside where the Democrats were making news, or did you just cover the Occupy thing outside? Nice photo of the guy in the mask, but I'd be more interested in what was said inside the hotel. I'm an attendee at the Democrat Farmer Labor party conventions here in Minnesota, and may even be a delegate at the state convention this year. I'm always interested in such doings in California, since I lived there for decades and was involved in Democratic party activities there, too. I hope you'll have some coverage from the actual event, instead of just reports on the Occupy protests.

Once your story is published, I'll check it out. Facebook subscriptions are a good thing. You won't reach as many people as you do here, of course, but, hey...you'll reach some. It's all good, eh?

BTW, PM me if you want some tips on getting press credentials for things like this. It's good to get inside and talk with other journalists and interview the people who are actual convention delegates. There are some genuinely crunchy stories at such events, if you're inside and have press credentials.
