So, as Mel noted, I took a lot of pictures yesterday. So many, in fact, that I decided it would burden the blog server too much if I posted them all on here. I decided instead to build a photo gallery in the Philly.com publishing system (a perk of my actual job). You can see it by clicking here.
I also recorded the speeches yesterday from Mel, Executive Sports Editor Jim Jenks, Editor Bill Marimow and Publisher Brian Tierney. You can listen to them by clicking here.
As an aside, my sincere thanks to those of you who came up to me last night at Doc Watson's to thank me for the work I did in Knoxville. I've long believed that the best praise a journalist can get is being told that people are reading and appreciating one's work, so it meant a lot to me... even if I seemed a bit out of it, because I was pretty tired from two straight early morning shifts.
