So, that was a whirl wind, i think mostly because it was completely unexpected. On Monday night after Michelle's speech, i was informed that i had credentials for the rest of the week. So Tuesday we went to the Convention and MAN, that is a production. Everyone so excited and everyone so proud to be there and represent their voice and thoughts not to mention their states and counties.
It is a really neat event. But during the evening's program i got to see the Gov. of Montana speak and then Hillary. She did a great job and, I think, successfully persuaded her supporters to support Obama. I have a ton of photos and will be posting them as soon as i get home this afternoon.

After the DNC ended we headed over to the Buel theater to see e-town, the radio show, that featured one of the members of Rage Against the Machine, who has a solo album, but it isn't that good, but he was on the bill, the Ani Defranco was on, and she was good. again, a singer song writer, so by this time, at 10:30 or so, i was getting really tired and kind of bored..
Then they interviewed Edward Kennedy. I think he has a lot of great things to say involving the environment and things, but he voice seems so strained that it is hard to understand, and where we were for photogs/press, it wasn't totally clear to hear.. so that made it harder to keep my eyes open, but i was determined to get some shots of David Crosby, so i stayed.. and they (Grahm Nash and David Crosby) came out and sang about three tunes, and then were interviewed. Then the sang "Teach your children" that brought a tear to the eye.. and then they were done. To be honest, i was about to fall over sleeping standing up, so we left before James Taylor came on, but it was already almost midnight, we had been at the DNC since 2 that afternoon.. so it was time to go home.

Wednesday morning Rage Against the Machine put on a free concert, held by the Iraq Veterans against the War. The venue opened at 9 and you had to claim your ticket and get inside before noon.. so we busted ass over there and got in with no issue. It was a great show.. The Coup and the Denver based band the Flobots were also on the bill.. Rage got the crowd fired up and the kids were loving it, even at 2 in the afternoon.. strange coming out of a show in the daylight, but it was great. By this time, Jeff and i were about to fall over.
We just went home and fell asleep on the sofa for three hours. By the time we woke up it was too late to get downtown, so we stayed home and watched Biden speech on TV. We both really kicked ourselves when Obama came out to wave and say a little something.. But we knew we were going to see history the next day so we tried not to let it bother us that we were missing it..

Yesterday was a life long memory.. I got to witness the first non-white hopeful for the most powerful position in the nation.. and that is VERY EXCITING!!! It was electric in the stadium.. I have a ton of pictures from yesterday as well as the whole DNC... and some video i am trying to get up too. Stay tuned. I will have more on yesterdays event and pictures too..

YES WE CAN!!!!
