Lots of DU Convention photos -- Day 2 -- Sunday (w/celebrity sightings!)

[Skinner]

Sunday was our first full day in Boston. Brian (Elad) arrived safely at Logan airport that morning. We did some volunteering during the day, and then in the evening we went to the big party for the Clintons on the 33rd floor of some Boston high-rise. The view was amazing. Afterward, we hooked up with some folks we know from Hillary Clinton's office and went out to a club in Boston. There was much merriment.

Boston has been great so far. We're having a blast!

My wife Shelly and her friend Amy. (And Romeo.)



Yes, that's Ben Affleck. He was standing out front of our hotel, so we asked him for a picture. That's my wife on the left.



The view from the 33rd floor at the Clinton party.



Another view from the 33rd floor.



The Big Dog.



Dave (EarlG) and Brian (Elad) in front of Bill Clinton.



Another picture of Dave and Brian w/Bill Clinton. (We've got about a dozen more just like these. These are the best two.)



Fireworks!



The three admins -- Elad, Skinner, EarlG -- together for the second group picture ever! We bought elad a new shirt. ;)

[youngred]

63. Opi man, you have no idea

how are you dude?

[youngred]

62. When in Boston...

I'm having a blast. Though I didn't even know these pics had been taken. Must pay more attention to what's going on.

[molly]

2. Great pictures!!!!

:toast: looks like everyone is having a great time.

[ewagner]

4. Great Pics

Keep 'em coming for us DUers out in the boon-tollies......

[StopTheMorans]

5. great pics!

I got to shake the Big Dog's hand yesterday afternoon at Club Noire in Harvard Sq. Didn't even know he was at the hotel there. My friends and I stopped in for a drink, and a bunch of Secret Service vehicles pulled up. We'd seen Hillary as we were walking through to get to the bar, and then Bill came in too! I didn't expect to see anyone big there; Danny Glover was there as well. It's gonna be a crazy week!

[proud patriot]

7. Woo Hoo

That sure looks like fun :D

[supernova]

8. Exciting!! Thanks for all the piccys Skinner

Looks like a great time and it makes me feel like I'm there. Looking forward to more pics this week. :D You all are having too much fun!

[lpbk2713]

9. Thanks for keeping us posted.

Wish I was there.

[bearfan454]

10. Wow !

Really cool to get that close to the big dog.

[terrya]

11. I'm jealous...Ben Affleck, for goodness' sake! :-)

And oh...it appears Bill Clinton was there, also. :-)

Great pics. :-)

[pagerbear]

30. Call me crazy, but

....I'd do the Big Dog before I'd do Ben Affleck.


But then, I don't expect to have to make that choice any time soon.

[terrya]

34. Actually, I wonder if Matt would do Ben before I did.

If one believed the rumors. :-)

[Mara Steele]

59. I believe the rumors, terrya...

I do SO believe them... Or at least, I want to help propagate them... :evilgrin: :D

[Aristus]

12. What are you guys looking at the camera for?

If I was there, I'd be jostling the crowd to shake Bill Clinton's hand, and thank him for eight great years!

[Skinner]

13. It was jam packed right around Bill. We couldn't get through.

But we wanted to have photographic proof that we saw him.

[iconoclastic cat]

14. Cool!

I am so jealous.

Thanks for posting those. I hope everyone has a blast!

[MallRat]

15. The ADMINS ARE AWAY?

Does this mean that we can post more than 4 paragraphs of copyrighted material now?

WOO-HOO!

:bounce: :headbang: :bounce: :headbang: :bounce: :headbang: :bounce: :headbang:

[Skinner]

16. Don't go too crazy.

The mods are still on duty. :)

[MallRat]

17. Does Romeo get past the security checkpoints?

Did the little dog get to meet the Big Dog last night?

:-)

-MR

[Skinner]

19. The little dog has not met the big dog.

The little dog stays in our hotel room most of the time. :)

[Lavender Brown]

18. That Tamika sure had a 21st to remember!

That's awesome. Looks like a great time was had by all in Boston! :bounce:

[terrya]

20. Have you seen any protestors?

Apparently, the cordoned off area the DNC created for protestors is not being used, according to MSNBC last night.

[Skinner]

21. We haven't been to the Fleet Center yet.

The convention officially starts today, so protests will probably also start today.

We did see about two dozen protesters in Cambridge, accusing Bill Clinton of genocide. I'm all for holding our leaders accountable, but Bill Clinton hasn't been president for nearly four years. I don't really get it. :shrug:

[LynneSin]

31. Don't you know - whatever is wrong in your life you can blame Bill Clinton

I'm thinking it's his fault my sinusitis is acting up real bad. Don't have proof, but I just know he was involved

:eyes:

[Longhorn]

48. I just broke a nail! Damn that Clinton! n/t

[ikojo]

55. Remember it's not CLINTON who is at fault but

his mighty and all powerful PENIS....the CLENIS.

It is the fault of the CLENIS that OBL has not been brought out of the hiding place where Bush is keeping him.

[Cybergata]

40. I read that...

Anti-War protesters and Anti-Abortion protesters had a skuffle or two yesterday. I also heard on NPR that the Anti-War people have no intention of being penned in, so you are bound to see them.

:hippie:

[GOPisEvil]

22. Democrats Gone Wild!

*jealous pout*

[SarahB]

24. Me too!

:(
I'm less than 100 miles from Boston, but can I even go Tuesday? Nope. Too busy of a week with finals for my Summer class. Sucks.

[LynneSin]

32. Come down to NYC for the convention - you could stay with us!!

Since GOPisEvil is ditching us, we have room for one more in our hotel!

[SarahB]

33. I'll think about it.

Mr. Belle was going to go there alone to protest (or maybe with some Guerrilla News people...I'm not sure) and we thought about going together, but we need our space and the weekend cost of a babysitter is like, astronomical. Depending on Mr Belle's plans (like if he's not doing it anymore), I may just take you up on it. :D

[Flaxbee]

23. Looks like a lot of fun!

Dangit, I wish I didn't live so far away!

Have a great time, all!

[Nevernose]

25. Where can I get a 5 lb bag of gummi worms?

Looks like y'all are having fun -- congratulations, and drink some tequila for me.

[Skinner]

28. You'll have to ask youngred.

I've never seen so many gummy worms in one place.

[truthspeaker]

26. Question about your friend Amy

Is she single?

[Skinner]

27. She's got a serious boyfriend.

Sorry.

[liberalcanuck]

29. Awesome pics! Just wanted to echo the sentiments of my fellow

DU'ers. Please keep posting more pics! It's nice to get a different view on things considering some of the crap we've been hearing from the media, i.e. fights outside the Fleet Center, Theresa's "Shove it." (which I LOVE by the way, much better than a "Cheney you" on the Senate floor!).

[JDPriestly]

35. Thanks. Enjoy and keep sending the pics.

[VolcanoJen]

36. Yay!! These photos are the perfect antidote to the cable news RW spin...

.. machine. It's been a depressing morning, watching the convention reports on cable.

Thanks for the photos, and keep 'em comin'!!!

[yardwork]

37. I love the Big Dog's pink tie!

Only real men feel confident enough to wear pink ties - real men like John Kerry and Bill Clinton.

You three admins look great, but dudes, you need new ties! Those look like you dragged them out of the back of the closet. I mean get with the program! You can pick up nice used ties on ebay for a song....

[Skinner]

44. I guess I better get with the program

and get myself a pink tie like JK and BC. :)

[Red State Rebel]

38. Tell Nalinee her hair looks adorable in the pix!

Everyone looks like they are having a great time! Enjoy!

[AlFrankenFan]

39. You guys are sooooooo lucky!

Keep us updated! :yourock:

[JohnKleeb]

41. So very jealous but happy for you all

[PopSixSquish]

42. The DU Admins are Way Cool

I so wish I was there to party with yas!

[floridaguy]

43. Thanks for the pics

It's good to see the DU admins walking the walk and getting involved.

Now, here's a quick lesson in Tequila shots.

Save the money, and just do this:spank: :wow: :puke:

[AspenRose]

45. Is that a STARBUCK'S cup next to your wife up near the top?!

LATTE LIBERAL!!! ;-) Heh.

Zack looks really creepy in the mirror, and the pics of the three admin are much better than the other one!

[Endangered Specie]

53. When the cats are away, the mice come out and play.

[Tardisian]

56. Envious....

[Mara Steele]
