One of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had thus far as a Journalist was covering the victory party/media circus that ensued at the Barley Mill with Joan Crockatt after her election win, in the Nov. 26 Calgary byelection. Crockatt, as most in Calgary know, was the Conservative winner for Calgary Centre. Her contenders were, in order of placement in the polls, Harvey Locke – Liberal, Chris Turner – Green Party, Dan Meades – NDP, Antoni Grochowski – Independent, and Tony Prashad – Libertarian.

This live blog event, set up by our instructors at SAIT, involved myself, Daniel Rodriguez, Thomas DeBrocke, and Ben Morris; by the way, we all enjoyed this experience immensely. I was at the conservative victory site at the Barley Mill, Daniel was at the Green party headquarters, Thomas was at The Garage with the Liberals, and Ben Morris was at the NDP camp at their HQ.
After Crockatt made her speech, Harvey Locke walked over a whole 100 feet from The Garage where his camp was, also in Eau Claire Market, and made a congratulatory message to her. I thought it was incredibly unusual that the Conservative victory site was so close to the Liberal victory site – a mere 100 feet away. And when I asked the media relations person, Richard Clark, at Crockatt’s campaign office why that was, he said to me, “we did not plan it that way.”

Below is a widget to a Sound Cloud recording, that I recorded with my Sony MP3 digital voice recorder, of Crockatt’s victory speech with Locke’s congratulatory message to her afterwards. Tom Flanagan, Crockatt’s campaign manager, speaks first in the recording, then Crockatt, then the media asks a few questions, then Locke congratulates her. Despite her obvious amateurism, I think she’ll do a fine job; and hey, learning starts at the beginning.

Because this was such a success, our class and hopefully those three other guys, with whom I had a lot of fun with, we will be looking for any reason, whatsoever, to do another live blog event.
