Unions Fighting Over 2012 Democrat Convention
2010-11-21 18:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The Cleveland, Ohio chapter of the AFL-CIO is mad. After Cleveland was chosen as the host city for the 2012 Democrat Party convention some carped that Cleveland was not sufficiently unionized to qualify as the right place for the Democrats to hold their event. Cleveland's AFL-CIO, however, begs to differ. The AFL-CIO was so incensed at the accusation that they wrote a letter to the DNC. "Cleveland and the Cleveland metropolitan area boast a healthy number of union hotels," the executive secretary of the region's AFL-CIO federation, Harriet Applegate, wrote in a letter to Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine this week. In October the union agitation group UNITE HERE sent a letter to the Democratic...

Libertarian National Convention
2010-06-02 17:02:00      Just got back from the national convention. I had a blast. I did get myself elected to th LNC. I was not sure if I would get elected or not. Some big guns were running for the at - large which made me think it would be hard to win at the region level.The one thing I did was buy some label stickers (4 inch round) and had everyone wear one that I knew was going to vote for me .It made a difference. I won the election . I actually believe one of our  problems in the party is not knowing how to campaign. One of my goals is to get more campaign stuff into the hands of activist at a low cost or at a zero cost.I believe we should make t.v. commercial at the national level so the states can run them. I will say this again it only cost about 15.00$ to run an ad on CNN in Atlanta.   We had our first LNC meeting on Monday. I was happy with how the meeting went. It was kind of neat to be seated beside Nolan and Ruwart.One day when our party takes off these are the are the type ...

Unions Killing Chicago Convention Biz
2010-04-03 18:35:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The Chicago Tribune has an editorial that shocks for the outrageousness that is the corruption and overcharging that unions have forced upon the convention business at Chicago's McCormick Place. It is so bad, the costs are so outrageously higher in Chicago, that conventions are fleeing the city in droves (as we've discussed here several times). But even though we understand as a matter of course that unions are bad for everyone, it is still shocking to see just how bad they are in Chicago. In fact, the Trib notes that convention organizers are charged fully 40% more in Chicago than they are anywhere else. Yes, it's almost half again as much to put on a convention...

In the Raw: Damn Sam the Miracle Man and the Soul Convention
2010-02-19 00:00:00 Released via Tay Ster Records in 1970, Damn Sam the Miracle Man and the Soul Convention found itself tied to a label that would be dedicated to issuing some really early rap stuffs in the coming years. Despite the imprint releasing singles by the Harlem World Crew, Tay Ster was at one time focused on issuing some heavy funk.Just judging from this self titled album's cover, it'd be easy to guess that there'd be a pronounced George Clinton thing going on here. That's not the case, though. Instead, Damn Sam (bka O.C. Wright) and his throaty southern soul vocals leads a band on songs that could be described as the what Otis would have sounded like if his plane...

One of them, sources said, is the National Restaurant Association, which has not yet made a commitment for its 2012 show.

Fans Ready For Baseball After The 25th Annual Cubs Convention
2010-01-18 19:55:00 I spent all weekend at the 25th Annual Chicago Cubs Convention, snapping pictures, checking out the booths, listening to some panels and trying to get myself fired up for the 2010 Cubs. The offseason has been relatively quiet for the North Siders, with addition by subtraction (bye bye, Milton) being the only major news. Well...that and the whole new owners thing.Reports have the team making a move for Ben Sheets, but when Lou Piniella spoke with WGN Radio's Steve Cochran in a Saturday afternoon panel, he never mentioned the rehabbing righty. Lou spoke about the team's search for a fourth outfielder (which may or may not end up being Reed Johnson again) and revealed that newly acquired pitcher Carlos Silva...
Monday Cubs Headlines: Convention Hangover
2010-01-18 11:51:00 "Let's give ourselves a round of applause!"Tribune Photo by Phil VelasquezThe 25th annual Cubs Convention is now but a memory. I'm sure we'll all remember the good times and the new friends. But for Bruce Miles, the big winners of the weekend were the Rickettseses. I'll just pass along what he said, and wait for comment from those who were actually there.Tom, Laura, Pete and Todd Ricketts seemed to say and do all the right things over the weekend. They talked of winning, improving Wrigley Field with "respect" to its history and listening to the fans. The family members said they wouldn't be as visible - or as loud - as George Steinbrenner, but that they would be at the...

Cubs Convention 2010: Fans Gone Wild!
2010-01-16 01:08:00 Slim Soto!I'm a lifelong Cubs fan, which explains my gray hairs at just 29 years old. This weekend thousands of die-hards will flock to the Chicago Hilton and Towers to see what to cheer on their favorite players and ask some tough questions of ownership.I went for a different, selfish reason - to get a pep talk from the countless rah-rah Wrigley fans. I need something to be excited about. For the first time in years, a Cubs season left me absolutely wiped out with nothing to look forward to. I found fans in wild attire, smothered in crazy tattoos, and more than a few with a level head. Here's the video from the WGN Evening News.......

Blackhawks Convention News & Notes
2009-07-20 00:08:00 The 2nd annual Blackhawks Convention will be termed another success by John McDonough and his staff. Not unlike the offseason thus far, the event had it's hiccups. However, McDonough met the challenge of an angered fan base and most will leave the weekend full of optimism for the upcoming season. Kudos to McDonough for being the most visible and accessible member of the Chicago Blackhawks throughout the weekend. Much like a politician running for office, the team president was a constant amongst the crowd shaking hands, signing autographs and posing for pictures. The boos from Friday night quickly faded and McDonough appeared to be a popular figure with the convention attendees. Stan Who?: Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman's Q&A...

McDonough addresses his critics at the Blackhawks Convention
2009-07-19 00:00:00 Chicago Blackhawks team president John McDonough addressed his critics head on today at the convention. A man who is keenly aware of his appearance and reputation, McDonough did not want Friday night's boo's to echo into the future. "I had to make a very difficult decision this week on a very classy guy that's played a major role with the Chicago Blackhawks, Dale Tallon," McDonough said in an opening statement during his afternoon session with the Blackhawks' executive staff. "Decisions in an organization are made for a reason. "Many of the emotions that people in this room are sharing, their feelings about Dale, possibly their anger about the decision, are the exact same feelings that I would have if...
Toews fits with Hawk legends at convention
2009-07-18 22:34:00 When most of us where 21 years old it was a victory to climb out of bed and tie our shoes. Plenty of mornings spent questioning our judgement from the previous night's festivities. Well, at least the portions we could remember. Few 21 year olds are able to give trusted direction or have the self-confidence to believe others would follow their footsteps. Chicago Blackhawks team captain Jonathan Toews, at the age of 21, is an exception to that description. Or should I just say exceptional? "Mr. Serious," as Toews was first dubbed by teammate Brent Seabrook, continues to show signs of becoming that once in a generation type of athlete. Joined on stage Saturday morning at the Blackhawk Convention...
Hawk fans set convention tone, boo McDonough
2009-07-18 05:34:00 The fans will set the tone at this weekend's Blackhawks' Convention. During the opening ceremonies, they gave a strong indication of their feelings as the fans booed team president John McDonough. Sounds like the weekend is going to be filled with questions about the last couple of months. If that's the case, it is a mistake. You may question his methods, but you cannot question the results under McDonough's watch. A trip this year to the Western Conference Finals and an early season favorite to make a return visit are not reasons to hiss. Future failures will call for vociferous responses. But, let us get the final report card before handing out judgement. Instead, fans should turn their energy...
Blackhawks convention celebrates Magnuson's spirit
2009-07-17 16:39:00 It's impossible to fire a Blackhawk. A real Blackhawk refuses to go just because he lost a job. And that's not just the case with Denis Savard and Dale Tallon, who remain committed to the Indian and everything it stands for even after their controversial firings within the past year. Keith Magnuson was fired after a 49-57-26 coaching record in Chicago. Not used to losing fights, Magnuson's tenacity didn't permit him to give up. Maggy became a charter member and elegant spokesman of the Blackhawk Alumni Association, the Red Baron's winning personality never wavering, never bitter....

Portage's convention

And, someone even makes the following observation worth considering about the Spidey/Obama issue: He also said comics like the new Barack Obama/Spiderman may be worth a lot now, but could go down in value.
