some awesome hats on the floor




the alabama delegation's spot on the floor


former president jimmy carter spoke to the alabama and georgia delegations on the morning of day 3








one of the many banners in downtown denver. on day 3 i was able to walk around the 16th street mall and spend the morning and early afternoon checking out the city before bill clinton and joe biden's speeches.


world can't wait had a booth. they were also protesting near invesco field on the day of obama's speech. strangely enough, one of the ladies at this booth(the one staring at the camera) acted funny about me photographing and filming the booth.


a protester on the 16th street mall


lots of political activities going on at the 16th street mall




this was a protest of some sort. i never did find out exactly what it was, but there was a very very long line of bicyclists that stopped traffic for awhile.

4. Blast from the recent past! We didn't get to linger on the

Brilliance of the DNC at all because the toxicity of palin came too soon.

5. Wow!

I just noticed how the entire convention was so well designed...and that the same set design followed over to Invesco Field. The circle of stars, the blue carpeting and the lecterns.

Democrats are soooo Classy.

Looks like you had a grand time.

Old Morning Joe seemed miserable though. Good! :)
