The Big Top Echo Chamber

In every sense of the word, the Big Tent is an echo chamber. The high metallic ceilings and air vents keeps the decibels of conversation reverberating just a little bit longer. A loudspeaker with a cool fembotic voice intermittently announces what’s happening on the second floor (that’s right, this tent has two floors). And, of course, there is the echo of the media (readers will note that my last posts, about other bloggers only added to this). While bloggers munch on their free Udi’s sandwiches, or sit at the long-house style tables pounding on their keyboards, it’s only a matter of time until everything that is happening in Denver gets written about a million times. When all of the news has been covered, bloggers turn to their neighbors and blog about bloggers. Within a five minute span yesterday I was interviewed by Youth Radio and a guy who looked like David Crosby (now) named Avery who keeps a blog called the AveryVoice. If you were to take every blog post dispatched from the Big Tent, you would have an enormous web, and at the epicenter would be the blogger himself.
