Event: Who I'm looking for in the Democratic National Convention.

I'm hosting company this week and Urbantasm research (in the form of the Chicago Jazz Festival) will be intruding into watching live coverage of the Democratic National Convention. Which is a shame, because I'd really like to see it as it happens.

Here's who I will be trying to check out, in the moment or after the fact:

MONDAY, AUGUST 25TH
- Michelle Obama
- Maya Soetero-Ng (B. Obama's sister)
- Craig Robinson (M. Obama's brother)
- Jerry Kellman
- Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr.
- NEA President Reg Weaver
- AFT President Randi Weingarten
- IL Atty Gen Lisa Madigan

TUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH
- Hillary Clinton
- KS Gov Kathleen Sibelius
- AZ Gov Janet Napolitano
- PN Sen Bob Casey Jr.
- AFL-CIO President John Sweeney

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27TH
- Joe Biden
- Bill Clinton
- NM Gov Bill Richardson
- MA Gov John Kerry
- Chicago Mayor Richard Daley

THURSDAY, AUGUST 28TH
- Barack Obama accepting the nomination.

There's more than enough food for conversation as it is...
