So, as you may have noticed, it having been blogged across the state in all of your favored publications - The Albany Project, The Politicker, Rochester Turning, and here - a bunch of we bloggers were up in Albany yesterday to see what it looks like when the actual Democratic Party does its business.

Enlightening. Here are some impressions:

My man Eliot in the press gaggle.

Approaching Albany.

Bloggers Row; from left to right, Paul, Azi and Liza.

Phil, Dave, Paul, Dave, hams.

Edna and Celeste.

Postering.

Oh say can you see...

It really is pretty up there.

So we totally got lost and managed to cruise around the Times-Union's printing plant.

An artsy-fartsy moment. Indulge me.
