Las Vegas - Free Dominion's Excellent Adventure
Conniew and I have recently returned from the Free Republic Convention in Las Vegas. We were warmly received and we had the honor of meeting Jim Robinson, the man who created the Free Republic model we used to design Free Dominion.
Free Dominion was recognized twice during the convention. First at the beginning when ‘diotima’ said from the microphone, “This convention is misnamed, it should be the International Convention since Free Dominion is present.” This resulted in a round of applause. The second time was during a big screen presentation of all the chapters of Free Republic. They included Free Dominion, some pics from our banquet in April, and some of our bumper stickers. When those pics came on the screen we received another round of applause.
We met many of Free Republic’s shining stars and learned a lot in the seminars. Author Laura Ingraham gave the keynote speech and she was riveting and entertaining.
All in all, it was an excellent adventure. And now the pics.

Entropy Squared with Jim Robinson. Jim Robinson, for all his magnificent accomplishments, is a very low-key guy. He’s just a regular dude. He endured a photo op like this with just about everyone in the room.
Free Republic screen name ‘diotima’. She emceed the event and she is Free Republic’s equivalent of Free Dominion’s ‘Wild Rose’.
Free Republic screen name ‘Interesting Times’, one of Free Republic’s best writers and it turns out a piano player as well. He entertained us with great music.
The only time low-key Jim Robinson spoke at a microphone was to accept an award on behalf of his son, John Robinson.
