DU MEETS THE DAILY SHOW: More Pics From The Convention!

[EarlG]

(Dial-uppers: apologies for the large pics in this thread.)

First, a few pics that got left over from the party the night before...







+++

And now, the main event...



Security was pretty tight.



Kirsten (Curse10), Brian (elad), Nalinee (EarlG's SO) and Alex (Curse10's SO) getting ready to go in to the Fleet Center.



Nalinee meets John's Kerry and Lennon. I guess the Daily Show found these pictures amusing too because...



...they were doing a skit about them. :)



You may well see this skit on tonight's (Tuesday's) edition. We won't give away the punchline...



...but it was pretty funny :)



Nalinee meets Samantha Bee and Rob Corddry.



Inside the main hall. Here's Brian...



... and Nalinee and Zack (youngred).



Nalinee managed to swag a special pass and took these pics from the Convention floor.





Anderson Cooper looks like he could go 360 in that chair.



Screw you Fox News!



And on to the speeches. Here's Al Gore (little Al is in the bottom right)...



...Jimmy Carter...



...Hillary Clinton...



...and finally, the Big Dog.



Looking forward to those ballons coming down on Thursday night!

1. I am continuely getting jealous

Man you guys are having the time of your lives while I am stuck in virginia typing air traffic records, really how tiring and tedious that can be, sorry for the rant, glad you guys are having the times of your life. If only I had been conceived 5 years earlier :cry:

You guys are having so much fun, I can tell. I just might stay up late tonight and watch The Daily Show instead of the rerun tomorrow, which I'll watch anyway.

I prefer "Dawg", myself.

And I'm super-jealous you got up close and personal with the Daily Show crew...especially Samantha Bee, my imaginary girlfriend.

:loveya:

[AlFrankenFan]

6. All us outside of Boston are looking at these pictures in utter jealousy!

But seriously I'm so glad you guys are having a wonderful time and getting to meet and see all these great people! I'm hoping when I'm old enough maybe in 2008 or 2012 I'll be able to attend my first convention!

[JohnKleeb]

[Catshrink]

WOW!! have a great week guys, keep the photos coming.

[JCMach1]

I feel like we're all there with you. You go DU!! I would love to meet the Daily Show people. You got to hear and see Al Gore, the Clintons and Jimmy Carter, now that makes me jealous. Hope you are all having a great time.

33. Appy-Polly-Logies not necessary ....

It's worth the dial-up wait ...

DAYUM ! .... What a BLAST ! ....

IF the stakes weren't so high: ... the fun might last forever ....

Too bad it will take til November to up-chuck the frat-fuck ...

Happy days WILL be here again .... I SWEAR it will ...

To see Elad, Skinner and EarlG amongst the other common folk of the DNC, and all amongst the Democratic Party greats: like Carter, like Gore, like Clinton ... It makes it SO clear that the Democratic Party IS OUR PARTY: It is the representative party of the common citizen ... It is SO clear ...

I wish I could be there, I so wish ... BUT:

Skinner, EarlG, Elad and the rest represent US this very moment ...

WE ARE there .....

Thanks, Guys and Girls ...

[Reciprocity]

34. Wow Kerry looks like Hugh Grant in that picture with Lennon.

Hey I’m on a dial-up in fly-over country and it loaded relatively fast. Thanks for posting.

[Lefty48197]

35. Cool pics!

and you mean there are actually people behind these screen names?

[dmr]

36. Awesome!

The Daily Show! Oh, man you are so lucky! I'm jealous! Earl oughta be writing for them.

I've been looking for you guys when the cameras scan the crowds.

I wish I could be there too! And, I'm sooo jealous! :)

Senator Kennedy just finished speaking and now I'm a blubbering old fool. He always speaks so passionately with conviction.

:bounce:

[bushisanidiot]

43. Any Chanting going on by the delegates toward the Fox "News" booth?

hard to believe they'd be that close and not give them some sort of grief... not sure I'd be able to hold my tongue if I were there.
