Surrounded by the "Famous for the Blogosphere"

Ok, that's a little unfair. Really, it provided a safe place for people to put their laptops while bloggers got up to take pictures as well as a place where there were ample power outlets so their laptop batteries wouldn't run down. As my own laptop battery was running down while I checked the election returns online, I walked in to the "blogger room" with my laptop in hand, and even though I didn't have a press pass, it appeared as though I fit right in:
