DNCC Day 4 - Welcome to the Big Show

It's here... yes, you know what i'm talkin about.... the final day of the convention baby!!!

Well before all of that fun, there was the usual routine of the bus ride, breakfast and then getting credentialed for the evening.

During breakfast this time, I was fortunate to listen to former Senator and Governor Bob Graham, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and a few other great speakers. Then off to the convention hall.

We get dropped off at the center and made our way to the different meetings that were going on. I ended up back at the Womens Caucus and had the pleasure of listening to Michelle Obama speak to a crowd of a 1,000 plus. From what I could tell, she keeps her husband grounded, but lets him have his fun too.

So I leave the hall, get back to DU and get ready for going to Invesco Field. Emma, Travis and his brother Will and myself all get ready for the night. We load up onto the lite rail and make our way to Colfax, get off and make our way into the conga line that is going to the field.

Well, I am hungry and ended up pulling Travis with me over to MickeyD's for some food. As we are walking out, we ended up in a "legalize it" protest... How funny is that. So me and Travis hung out with them for a few, and they were so effin peaceful (I wonder why.)

After getting back in line (which that's a whole 'nother story,) we scarfed down the food and hung out, danced, chatted and had fun. Yes we danced. The line was long, but with the good people that was around us, we all had fun. Before I forget, thank you to Coke-A-Cola for the water and to the security for not frisking me.

So we get into the stadium and by god, just thinking on how many people will be in the stadium would be amazing. Here are some videos that were shown during the evening... sit back and enjoy!
