Late notice convention advice request. A variety of circumstances has me headed to the Democratic convention in Boston with access to a pass that should get me into the building at least part of the time. So, advice welcome. I can navigate Boston, but I have no clue how most of this works:
a) The Convention: 7 to 11pm most nights, who, what, when?
b) Para convention conferences: what are the important ones? Particularly for a foreign policy/security wonk?
c) How do I get myself and my chief pass benefactor into at least a couple wonderful parties that will endear me to her for the duration of the convention, and beyond?
All convention advice appreciated at laura@warandpiece.com. Many thanks.
