Howard Dean came to town last Thursday, and I was able to video two of his speaking events.

The first event in the afternoon was on the environment. Howard warned us that his speech might be a little stiff, and he wasn't kidding. But he did make some good points, including one about the potential of wind power. (Small - 3 MB)

One highlight took place when a cell phone rang and Dean realized it was his own. (Small - 2 MB)

I didn't get a chance to wait around to talk to Howard because I had a 1:45 appointment, but I wasn't worried about it, because I was going to see him speak again at a fundraiser at the San Francisco Medical Society that same evening (which I knew would be a smaller gathering and a better place to say hello).

I'll have the stuff from that up later today.

Here's the complete speech from noon on July 31, 2003, in one part and in three parts:
