Good afternoon, friends and co-workers,
I've arrived in Denver and have moved into my room at Regis University, from whence most students attending The Washington Center's programming will be staying during the next two weeks. It's a pretty campus, and the students seem friendly so far.
It's a nice room, though I do wish they would have provided a fitted sheet. Is that so much to ask? Instead, I have two top sheets. Ah, well. It's a minor thing. I'm here, safe and sound, and I'm largely unpacked. I've got a powerful amount of reading to get through in the next several days, but it looks to be a promising experience.
For whom will I be working? An excellent question, one for which I still don't have an answer. But I'll keep you posted (unless, as I found out today, I get assigned to a media member that forbids its employees from blogging!). Talk to you soon. — Nate
About Me

- It's great to meet you! I'm Nate Birt, author of two nonfiction books and of supernatural thriller and horror stories. I'm a Missouri transplant born in Colorado. I have a master's in journalism and have spent my career primarily in food and agriculture working on climate change transformation. These days when I'm not writing books, I'm running my own consulting business helping nonprofit executives accelerate climate-change solutions. I sit with existential dread daily and use writing to navigate my feelings, bring others along for some spooky, and maintain a sense of joy and good humor through it all.

just one question...are you at the DNC b/c you support the Democratic candidate or because of others reasons?
Hi, Tim,
Thanks for your question! I'm in Denver as a participant in The Washington Center's Democratic National Convention program. The Center is non-partisan, so I'm essentially here to learn as much as I can about how the process works, and in particular how the media go about covering such events. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get credentials with a member of the media to do some work while I'm here. Having lived in Colorado for most of my life, it's also a nice chance to be surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains and, I hope, visit with my family here.
Thanks, as always, for reading, and keep the questions coming.
Nate
