Utah Blogger Conference

I went to the Utah Bloggers Conference tonight and I had a really great time. Although I had to leave early because Jennie left her key to our house in a friend's car, it was nice to eat some free pizza and see some "famous" bloggers... ahem....

1st Grade memories!

While standing in line, Megan, Brian and I met Representative Craig Frank. He represents the Pleasent Grove area in Utah County. He's also a member of the Conservative Caucus, a group of about 30 legislators who I assume are fiscally and socially conservative.

I'm convinced that meeting legislators in non-official capacities is much better than when they are up at the Capitol. They probably don't worry so much about their image when they are out in regular interactions with the public than when they are "important people" at the capitol.

Rep. Frank was extremely nice and if I was a right-wing nutjob like him, he'd totally have my support. He was really funny and we had a good laugh about him being "crazy." It was very cool to be talking to a very conservative legislator and not feel weird around them. While I probably disagree with him on many issues, it didn't affect my opinion of him because I saw a person and not a Gayle Ruzika clone.
