Nezua Snags America’s Voice Immigration Blogger Scholarship
IN PITTSBURGH THIS MONTH the lefty blogosphere will once again create its own “city within a city,” a sort of virtual Embassy of ‘Net, or as most refer to it, “Netroots Nation.” Will you be there? If so, keep an eye open, because so will yours truly…
THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE to keep traveling to conferences and conventions and expos and such is that I am lucky enough to hit virtual jackpots and am flown via scholarships or other such jazztastic happenstance (not to mention the help from my friends along the way) and I am grateful in each instance for the honors, as well as the opportunities. These trips are expensive and many do not get to attend. Were it not for America’s Voice this year, I’d not, either.
I am proud today to thank America’s Voice for awarding me one of their eight scholarships to attend Netroots Nation 2009 as an Immigration Blogger.
As usual, if you live in the area, drop me a line. Maybe I’ll see you there!

congratulations!
thanks!
Aw damn, it’s in two weeks? Definitely no way I’d be able to make it up into the city at that point. But best of luck. Eat some good sandwiches (e’rbuddy will tell you to eat at Primanti Bros), but be careful because the people around here will put fries in your sandwich for you. And in your salads, come to think of it, based on my experience eating in the area. Yinzers are weird
Congrats! Enjoy the hell out of it!
Congrats! I’ll look forward to meeting you there.
Dude! That’s fantastic! Congratulations.
thanks for the advice, amanda!
and thanks dave, and eric, much appreciated.
I told Efrén about this and he asked me to tell you he is proud of you and happy that you were chosen as one of the winners. We hope you have a great time and wish you all the best. In Solidarity!
