This is going to be a brief post since time is limited, however, the last couple days have been quite exciting. Sunday I hung around the Colorado Convention Center where quite a few events were going on including an interfaith seminar, an AFL-CIO seminar, and a Friends of New Orleans benefit. Sunday I got into the Pepsi center to witness the first night of the convention. The highlight, for me, by far, was Ted Kennedy's appearance. He also got the biggest applause from the crowd all night. Michelle Obama, however, was by no means unimpressive. She has quite a story, and was a great public speaker. The Pepsi Center was packed, with lines outside of every entrance to get in. It was great to see all of the excitement, and tonight Hilary's speech should be very interesting.
The night was awesome. I got a ticket into a Massachusetts delegation after party at a quite classy restaurant with free food, an open bar, and a live jazz band. I spent the night cajoling a Yale graduate working for Obama to find me floor credentials, we'll see how that goes. I hope the rest of the week was as fun as Monday was, the excitement is just beginning!
