At Invesco Field

I am finally here in the press box of Invesco Field.

Here is where lpackard and I started in the line.
rich :: At Invesco Field

Luckily, with my press credential, I was able to skip this.

And this.

And this.

lpackard is down in section 100. I'm going to run down and see her in a bit, get some food (my stomach is grumlbing) before coming up back here.

On the plus side is that I’m in an air conditioned room.

On the down side is that I’m in a space meant for half the number of people currently occupying said space. Tensions are high. There are cranky bloggers an DNC staffers. This change of venue has brought a host of problems. In general, people are trying to keep a cool head.

Here is my view.

It’ll be like watching a rock concert or baseball game in a skybox, without the luxury that goes with a skybox.

Update: Fuuuuuuuuuuck!

We've been told that we now each are only allowed 30 minutes up here, with Internet connections, etc. Then we have to go soemwhere else for an hour before we can come back. I think I'm going to hang out with Laura for the remainder.

There is no space in the unassigned media area either. Sorry, but I have to say that for those of us not anywhere close to the A Level of media, this sucks.

As someone who knows Denver. . . (4.00 / 4)
Holy sh*t. Couldn't they have snaked y'all through the cool part of town if the line was going to be a mile long? There's some great record stores over there and stuff, as well as many other things not politically related so you could get a break while WAITING IN LINE. You could have had Obamabobble keep your place.

In other non-political info: Try to hit Tattered Cover before you leave if you haven't already. It's a super-cool independent bookstore.

And in terms of politics: You may be uncomfortable, but the rest of us back home are jealous in ways that you cannot even imagine. Jesus, man, you're witnessing history--not that they're letting you forget it. Be sure to remember it all so that you can tell the stories to my kids.


Wow!! (4.00 / 2)
That was an amazing speech! It must have been amazing to be there, hassles or no. I watched it on WKAR and once again David Brooks pretended to be underwhelmed. What a schmuck. It was energizing; I cried, and I no longer cry easily. I'm drunk on hope, baby!

I turned to the Daily Show afterward, and they showed a film that was suppose to be produced by the Democratic Party. It was titled "Obama: He Completes Us." Very, very funny.
