Despite the fact that by then the Calgary Flames should be getting ready to finish who ever they fight in the second round of the playoffs I am preparing myself for the next Alberta PC AGM. And it should be a great time, way better than the bizarreness that was last year's - I mean after the climax of the vote, what was there to do? I grant you, the Saltlik was a pretty good time - I can't wait to actually have an impact on policy and the running of my political party. People talk about the heady days of the mid-nineties when the Progressive Conservative party listened to the grassroots of the party, and I figure this is my chance for that same feeling. Not that I always trust the grassroots, but that is a different story.
The agenda seems a little, well, spartan for the moment, but I figure the organizers are expecting for a secret, special guest speaker to wow them. Well, if in likely a concurrent session with that speaker, I am also speaking - Why sit at the kid's table? Youth and the Alberta PC party, or something like that. But the other sessions (I have some knowledge not available on the web yet) also look fantastic. And the resolutions seem very solid too.
But more interesting than speakers or policy will be the feeling, the mood. And that is something that doesn't quite get planned, nor can it be explained adequately in a newspaper column or in a twelve second soundbyte. Hopefully I'll be in a writing mood that weekend.
