Day Four...

The lines for tickets outside Invesco Field really did seem ridiculous today, but many people connected with District 14 managed to get some type of credential to attend. Even 12-year old Shahab and his dad who flew in today got a few upper section seats. I tried to call those of you who I knew would be in town. We weren't informed until Thursday morning that there would be extra Invesco tickets, and most of us requested only 1 or 2 additional tickets.

The performers included will.i.am, Sheryl Crow, and Stevie Wonder. Day 4 felt like a combination of a rock-concert, college graduation, and political rally. Obviously the Democrats have learned to drill home the main points about McCain, so just about every speaker echos similar ideas, including the testimonials from people from different Battleground states.

All the delegations were placed at the floor level, and we were seated right behind Colorado this time. I've received reports that Molly, Elspeth (Mari felt ill and gave her pass to her), and Bob Petit were filmed dancing to music. Bob especially seems to get the cameraperson's attention on the big LCD screens, as I think it's been at least 2 or 3 convention days where I've seen him on the screen.

I'll try to post a photo gallery later for everyone soon....
