People Are Talking About: The Huffing Post Oasis

Denver, the convention, and the internets are positively buzzing about our wonderful little Oasis. Here's what some of them have to say.

Don Hazen of Alternet.org:

One of the hot spots, or rather cool places, at the Denver Democratic Convention is the "Huffington Post Oasis," a suite of offices... transformed into a tranquil hive of blissed-out activities...

I had a fabulous massage there by Naveena Valley, who along with a bevy of body workers and instructors, was volunteering her time for the cause. I sent Mother Jones' David Corn for a visit; he got a hand message and some yoga instruction. We were followed by Timesman David Carr, who got body work...

Upon entering the Oasis visitors are treated to massages, facials and yoga instruction. Black clad, mellowed out volunteers serve all manner of tasty vegan food and super-healthy, greenish smoothies.

David Carr of the New York Times also took a great video of his experience at the Oasis. You can find it here.

Dana Milbank at the Washington Post:

The Huffington Post Web site offered delegates a "HuffPost Oasis" with Thai massages and mini-facials.

But would a massage and some time in the downward-dog pose be enough to heal the Obama-Clinton rift?

The LA Times:

The hippest place for bloggers in Denver is called The Big Tent. For its $100 entrance fee, it's providing juice for laptops and PDAs (courtesy Google), free WiFi, free burritos and other snacks, yoga space and free mini-facials and hand massages (courtesy the Huffington Post).

Barack O'Blogger:

We don't just work and blog here at the Democratic Convention. Sponsor Arianna Huffington has created a bloggers' oasis in The Big Tent.
