I'm sitting in the hotel lobby with kath25 and a bunch of bloggers. A lot of people have left already, but the rest of us are here talking and typing away on our laptops.

Here's a little photoblog of my time in Austin.

I'm heading to Austin in the morning, and wanted to post this one more time before I leave.

Want to turn Texas blue with kath25 and me?

I'm helping you take our country back. I'm registering voters in New York tomorrow and Austin on Wednesday.

What a nice way to start my day, even if it was a very, very early start :)

It was so wonderful to be in a room with a couple thousand (mostly) Women for Obama.

I have to run shortly, but wanted to get a few photos posted and give some impressions.

A Texas win may be a longshot for Obama, but even if he doesn't win the state, there's a good chance Dems will make gains in downticket races.  Barack Obama and Howard Dean are planning to make inroads in every state in the country.

Want to spend an afternoon with fellow Kossacks and local volunteers  making a real difference?

Last night we had our first NYC meetup in six months. It was great to see kossacks I hadn't seen for too long and to meet some terrific new people.

Below the fold are a few photo highlights. Apologies for the short diary, but photos and captions is all I have time for.

You won't want to miss this one. We're getting together for a post-primary, pre-Netroots Nation meetup this Wednesday, June 18 at The Tank, 279 Church Street (between Franklin and White) starting at 6:00 pm.

I posted a version of this about a month ago, but it didn't get much traction. I thought I'd try again tonight, when the primary is really, really over.

Please add a comment letting us know what you did or thanking others you know who worked hard to bring an Obama victory.

Some of my souvenirs from the campaign trail.

...I joined more than 100 activists from the northeast and mid-atlantic regions in Philadelphia to learn how we can beat McCain and the Republicans in November.

The event that drew us all to the UPenn campus on a Saturday was a one-day Activist Training workshop organized by Asian Pacific Americans for Progress and the DNC. We learned about the Democratic Party's plans for the 2008 election, including goals, messaging and new tools for activists.

It's been a while, huh?

Today was the launch of a massive 50-state voter registration drive, VOTE for CHANGE. The Obama campaign is building it's volunteer base and increasing voter participation.

All of us who have worked with the Obama campaign know that we would not be where we are now without the help of thousands of dedicated volunteers around the country.

One of the biggest stories of this race is still the least publicized or understood among pundits and old-school politicians. That is the story of the movement Obama has started, and how hard his supporters are willing to work to meet our goals.

Here it is in black and white:

I've been canvassing in Philly for the past two days with a TON of other volunteers, and it's been amazing.

Here's a little photo diary, heavy on the photos, light on the diary.

What are you willing to do to make it happen?

I traveled from NYC to Philly this weekend for a Women for Obama event,  the "Weekend of Women," and to knock on some doors.  Below the fold are snapshots and commentary from my trip.
