I just want to take a minute to point out that several of my buddies from the Afrosphere are going to be at the convention this week, including my friends Baratunde Thurston and Cheryl Contee from JJP, Pam Spaulding, L.N. Rock, Gina McCauley, Liza Sabater, and Shawn Williams. There’s more going on on each blog than there is space to list here, but suffice it to say that these blogs are all offering a variety of coverage and perspective that you’re not likely to see on many of the bigger blogs.
