Barefoot Adventures: Day 2 at the DNC revisisted in pictures

Exterior of Pepsi center

This above pic is of a restaurant that CNN took over, in the secure area of the Pepsi Center and painted the exterior and hung this HUGE neon sign.
This is a rendition of the LOVE art, into HOPE art( and the Co. flag)

Wide shot of interior of Pepsi center for The DNC. All the areas around the stage has the seats removed and desk tops put in. All the ad banners were covered with news organization logos or DNC logos. The rialing you can see at the bottom is the railing that was right in front of me in the writing press stand. So, that is a literal picture of my distance to the stage.

Close up of the stage

Pages called whips were dressed in bright green smocks and their job is to hand out the signs on cue and get the individual states excited. Normally, when you have one candidate heading to the nomination, there will be one set of whips, but for this DNC, there was no decision of whether Hillary would release her delegates at this point in the DNC, so, there were two sets of whips; some for Hillary and some for Barack, not that you could tell them apart. So this night, the Hillary Whips had a petition type thing they were getting the Hillary supporters to sign saying they would lay off the Barack supporters and not cause issue when Hillary spoke.. This actually was an historical event in it's self because the Hillary whips were doing kind of the opposite of their jobs..But in the end, all the signs got out in time to hold up when the speaker would say the words on the sign. Very organized, like they had done this before... :) like a 100 times..

If you are still looking for a woman to support, this is the next hot woman to watch. Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas.. She is amazing!!!! watch for her name in 4 years(or 8 if we are lucky)

People dress up here too, like a concert, but with no band. Uncle sam dancing in the aisle.

CNN live shot..(above)

Gov. Mark Warner from VA spoke.. had to get the home town rep in.

So, all of a sudden and then for what seemed an hour. Photogs were focused into the space directly under me.. and then lots of people started taking pictures, again for what seemed like 45 minutes to an hour. I got home after the event and watched the coverage on TV and Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and Michelle Obama were sitting under me.. hence all the pics taken and the Secret Service based right below me......
