Now that I have your attention, I just want to say that the Big Tent experience is primo and I want to personally thank DailyKos, Google and Digg and the City of Denver and the DNC (even if the latter didn't have much to do with it.)
I want to thank whoever made it so we got Cajun food tonight and all the Fat Tire we can drink. & I want to thank whoever gave us this wonderful proximity to the awesome Tattered Cover Bookstore and to the MSNBC sound stage where I just saw Rachel Maddow and Pat Buchanan going at it (no, I don't mean that way!) I want to thank Arianna Huffington for having a cool spa next door and for showing up and blogging there! I want to thank her for the free book. & the free Dean Ornish book.
I want to thank Markos for the free book and for signing it, and for holding down the fort in a crazy zoo so far! I want to thank the Volunteers and Security who work out in the front and keep all of corporate (aka mainstream or traditional) media from bursting in here at once to see what we're doing.
I want to thank the reporters from Barcelona and a bunch of others places, and all the delegates who get day passes to come in here because of all the free food, beer and cool people. I want to commend the organizers for the good sound, the big screens, the utter grooviness of it all. The Starz Tent has nothing on us nor does the Pepsi Center or possibly even the Investco Center (although I'm jealous of those who will see Obama from the inside tomorrow night.)
Well, Joe Biden if about to come on so I'll sign off, Wish you were here and glad I am! I am using my vacation time and savings to do this, but no regrets. I am blogging at Silenced Majority Portal, Democracy Cell Project and Northwest Progressive Institute so stop by. I have alot of street photography at SMP and also of my idol Rachel Maddow, and also Obama Girl so don't be shy.
Well, I'd better go replace my beer. We couldn't find a towel but it soaked right into the carpet so no worries.
