Left In Lowell

My interview with Darcie Boyer today was helpfully posted at Community Connections and linked to by Jim in a previous thread. The whole website is interesting, by the way, and is where you can find archives of Thinking Out Loud and other shows. Hopefully in the future, this will be the repository of all of TOL’s Friday shows.

The Governor’s first of a promised weekly podcast series. You can listen via the player below or go to the podcast page.

(Yes, this is the first tentative step towards my ability to embed audio files in the blog!)

Update: Yes, I can now do audio files on this blog, but not Gov. Patrick’s…it seems that the encoding on their files and the Flash player that PodPress (and most other audio plugins) use do not get along. Hence, Patrick’s voice sounds slloooow and deeeep. (A word to the Patrick IT Team - here’s some info on that bug.)

The Lowell Democratic caucuses which will elect delegates to the state issues convention (an off-year convention to determine changes to the state party platform among other things) will be on Saturday, February 3, at 10 am at the East End Club, 15 W. Fourth Street.

All wards (1 through 11) will meet. If you don’t know how caucuses work, each ward is responsible for sending several delegates (equal in number between female and male, plus alternates) to the convention (to be held at the Mullin Center at UMass, Amherst, Saturday, May 19, 2007). For more details, here’s the offical website.

This is a good opportunity to come and crash the gates, as it were. Anyone interested in this, please feel free to email me, lynne [at] leftinlowell.com (replace the spaces and the [at] with @).
