The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
As everyone from the New York Times to the San Francisco Chronicle has noticed, Vice President Al Gore was in town this weekend for Netroots Nation. Thanks to honorary Newsdesker Angel Schatz for the footage.
In a couple of weeks, all keynote speeches and panels will be available at the Netroots Nation website. But there’ll be plenty of Chronicle footage before then: stay tuned. Er, logged on.
