Attention NYC bloggers. I want photographs of any reporter, correspondent, photographer or “pundit” who visits this.

Besides an army of antiwar and anti-Bush activists, New York’s Republican National Convention is ready to greet you, directly across from Madison Square Garden, with a full city block of indoor media workspace, gourmet prepared-to-order edibles, and dozens of permanent bathrooms. And if that’s not enough, there’s the complimentary day spa, which will offer free massages, facials, manicures and shoe shines. Oh, did we mention the complementary cold beer?

I’m not surprised they’d offer the spa. But I’d be appalled if anyone took advantage. Have some fucking pride.
