Brian Lamb

The Chairman of C-SPAN, Brian Lamb, came to speak at the RAF this afternoon.  He is very easy on the ears, and involved us as an audience very well.  He kept asking members of the audience to answer various questions, including; who do you plan to vote for, what would you do about the deficit, what role does/should the media play, what have you learned here, what are you going to tell your best friend when you get back, etc.  I raised my hand probably a dozen times during the course of the lecture/conversation, but managed to not be selected once, maybe the red shirt and tie was the wrong look today?  I was freshly shaven anyways.  I managed to gain him as an audience afterwards, talked about how I had been in the C-SPAN office just a week earlier, that I am from Cambridge, WI, go to UW-Whitewater, etc.  He has interviewed every President from Nixon to Obama, which has to be absolutely amazing.  I asked him for some locations to visit while I am here that he would most highly recommend.  The three sites that he listed that I have yet to enter were Ford Theater, Lincoln Cottage, and Mt. Vernon.  I have three new destinations to make it to in the next couple of weeks, stay tuned for my reviews of them!
