Hissyspit, Elad Are In Invesco Field Mile-High Stadium (Photo of Stage)
Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 04:59 PM by Hissyspit
Blogger's Lounge in the Press Box is crowded and they are rotating the bloggers in and out, but we will be reporting from the stadium as much as possible. Stay tuned. Stage looks great, don't know what the controversy is about. It's a hazy, but a fantastic, not too hot, CLOUDLESS day here in Denver. Beautiful.

The views in the stadium are effectively clear for all seating, and it is nice and air-conditioned in the press box areas, where you will find us set up about on the 20-yard line, I believe. One end of the stadium is slighty opened up with a, I would guess, 100-foot long LED screen for people to view info and close-ups of the action.

The bus ride over was pleasant enough, if a bit convoluted. We're early, here, but thre is plenty to keep us busy. Nice start to an historic day. Elad and I listened to Fresh Air with Terry Gross on the way from the hotel. Her "make-up sex" analogy to describe the Hillary and Barack convention situation was interesting, to say the least.

15. Yeah, those Greeks were SO "uppity"-- the nerve!

Though I do wish we weren't copying Bush!t's "nipple in the round" from 2004.

9. I am so jealous, maybe I too can become a blogger for the 2012 convention
I think I'll call it 'Ramblings of the Bramaged Dain'.

Wish we could ALL be there with you. What a thrill it must be.

10. Hey if you get to see those freepers heading there in togas,
be sure to get pictures. Nothing better to laugh at than a bunch of stupid Republicans in white sheets at an event for a black man.

corporate advertisement.

16. I know. But thought I'd do my journalistic function at first.
Then call it Mile-High from here on out. The Invesco Field signs are going to show up in the photos, anyhow. I'll try and crop them out if I can!

17. Cloudless?
So, will this be the first time in history that The Baby Jesus cries without benefit of clouds?

I think someone needs to explain why it is their God's wrath is not raining down on Denver, like those Christers were prayer for.

Has their God finally foresaken them? Will this spark another book about why "bad things" happen to "good people"?

18. That stage is nearly identical to the one used by Bush at
the 2004 convention- as someone kindly posted those pics here at DU earlier today. The stage is even the same. I love fake controversies.

21. The speakers have started following some bluegrass music. First up, Luis Gutierrez, then David
Plouffe of the Obama campaign, and now Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.
