Political Convention

I spent my Saturday at the Utah State political convention for my party. I have to admit that I was not all that excited about going. A whole day of politics; that really is not my idea of a good time. I did go prepared, I brought a book.
It turned out that it was not too bad at all. The worst part of the whole day was making through the maze of people and signs trying to persuade any undecided delegates to one camp or another. It turned out that the whole proceding was much more light hearted than I expected and dare I say even enjoyable. That was a very big surprise.
Not all of my canidates won but still it was a good experience that I might even consider doing again.
As far as lessons learned: I would not give my phone number to canidates again, they called non-stop in the month proceeding the convention, and I would definetely bring the book.
It was very much worth participating in the political process.
